Seed Cleaning Saturdays
at Las Milpitas Community Farm
Every other Saturday

Join us every other Saturday (with occasional exceptions) to clean your seeds and/ or sign up for a seed locker. We’ll provide all the equipment needed. You can come learn with our tools and/ or books, ask questions, etc. Don’t have any seeds to clean? You can come help with ours, someone else’s, or to just hang out. You can even take a tour around the garden. We’ll even have seeds you can purchase for your future garden.
The seed lockers are located at the further most southeast corner of the garden. There will be signs to guide you to the right place.
