Come party with us!!!! Our 28th Annual PestoFesto, end of season celebration and fundraiser, is just around the corner on April 4th. This year we'll have basil themed activities, a farm fresh salad and pesto pasta dinner as well as live music and a silent auction. The funds raised support our educational programming to teach the community where their food comes from and mission to serve as a model of sustainability in agriculture. With all these activities, we'll need dedicated volunteers to make our annual end of season celebration and fundraiser a success.
As a volunteer you can help in a variety of areas such as set-up, activities, food prep, ticket taking, pouring drinks, serving food, break down and more. We need volunteers for food prep both the night before PestoFesto on April 3rd and the day of the event on April 4th.

Description
Sweetwater Organic Community Farm was established in 1995 as a nonprofit community-supported urban organic farm and environmental education center in Tampa, Florida.

Through our hands-on programs, visitors of all ages discover the wonders of nature, explore ecological interconnections, practice appropriate land stewardship and master sustainable agriculture techniques. Our farm provides the freshest possible organic vegetables and herbs for hundreds of Tampa Bay residents each year.
At Sweetwater, community members come together to grow and enjoy fresh organic food, acquire sustainable living skills, support local agriculture, enjoy nature, make new friends and be a part of the community.
