A Guide to Petaluma Bounty’s Programs, Events, Volunteer Opportunities, and Resources in 2024

Here’s what happening at Petaluma Bounty right now.

Upcoming Events on the Farm

Bounty Hunters Program

Bounty Hunters is our community-wide food gleaning network that collects fresh, healthy food from backyard gardeners, farms, orchards and businesses. The food we collect goes to service providers who assist people in need.

If your backyard fruit tree or vegetable patch is more productive so productive that you can’t keep up, congratulations! And please consider donating the food through the Bounty Hunters program by filling out this form. If you are interested in volunteering to pick fruits and veggies for the program, please fill out a volunteer interest form.

Community Gardens Program

With a partnership in place with the City of Petaluma, Petaluma Bounty kicked off efforts to revitalize community gardens in 2023. First off is La Tercera Community Garden. Click here to learn more about our Community Gardens Program and how to get involved.

Farmers Market L.I.F.E. and Nutrition Incentives (CalFresh, Market Match, and more)

Farmers markets that are part of our Farmers Market L.I.F.E. program accept CalFresh and offer Market Match. Learn more about Farmers Market L.I.F.E. by clicking the button below.

Internships

Each year, Petaluma Bounty’s internship program hosts 3-8 college and high school students. The program is offered in the fall, spring and summer. We work with academic institutions so that students can receive credit for their time with us. Learn more about our internship program at this link.

Partnerships

We are grateful for all of our partners and collaborators.

The Master Gardeners of Sonoma County have worked to revitalize the Unity Garden near the entrance to our farm. They attend most of our on-farm community events like our twice-yearly plant sales, community seed exchanges, and more.
