COVID-19 Safety Concerns:
As a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching our community about growing food, we are very concerned about the health and safety of our volunteers and their families. While the farm is beginning to reopen to volunteers, we have modified our volunteer schedule and implemented new safety protocols. Click here for more details on volunteering.

Why Garden to Table?
Urban residents have been disconnected from where their food comes from for generations. Garden to Table believes this is a central reason why public health has steadily deteriorated. Food is a fundamental part of everyday life and it should be grown where people live.
In October of 2013, Garden to Table installed 2,500 square feet of raised beds on a previously vacant lot to develop Taylor St Farm. It is a one-acre urban farm located in downtown San Jose.
Our mission is to educate and create a network of food systems that builds community and improves access to healthy food. We do this by growing unique and delicious produce on our farm, educating the public. We strive to transform the way cities are fed and connect people with great local food! Our goal is to change the food system on a community scale.

Upcoming Events
ABC's of Farming - Remote Learning
Details: We are offering this 6-week summer class starting September 5th for children, ages 4 to 10. This parent participation program provides garden education to help young children nourish their curiosity, improve cooperative learning and listening skills, enhance their senses, become stewards of the environment, eat more fruits and vegetables, and increase physical activity.
There is no fee for the class, but donations are requested so that we can continue to run our educational programs. We will Zoom once a week on Saturday at 3:00 pm to introduce a concept, then provide each family with activities for the week using everyday items that can be found at home. If your family would like to be a part of this class, please email us at taylorstfarmsj@gmail.com.
The Grow at Home Program Takes Root
When we had to close to volunteers, we began growing plants so that people could grow their own vegetable gardens at home. We distributed 40 gardens to members of our community. We plan to grow plants for a fall/winter garden to provide access to year round gardens. If you are interested in growing a fall garden, please send us an email at taylorstfarmsj@gmail.com.
