Citizens play a huge role with my community partner. At Potrero Nuevo Farm they rely heavily on volunteerism. The Potrero Nuevo Farm provides charity to the citizens of Half Moon Bay. They also work in partnership with the Half Moon Bay Catholic Workers. The Farm donates the use of its land, harvest support, use of farm equipment and other materials to the Catholic Workers and that in turn feeds the low income and homeless.
The citizens and Potrero Nuevo Farm interact when people volunteer. They also interact through a program called U-Pick where people can harvest their own vegetables, berries, herbs and flowers. Potrero Nuevo Farm also host an educational program for Pilarcitos High School's 'Coyote Farms Project' and they offer farm tours to community groups.
Without the participation of citizens the farm wouldn't be able to operate in the way it does. The whole reason the farm exists is to help the citizens in the communities surrounding it.
