Support Our Crew
Sustaining — let alone increasing — our island’s current capacity for food production is impossible without the farm workers.
We believe in fighting for broad, systemic policy solutions to our challenges, but we simply cannot afford to wait indefinitely. We, as a community, can (and must) work together to do something now.
Three key ways to help keep our farm workers on San Juan Island…
Permanently affordable housing
Long-term leases for locals
Seasonal housing for transient workers
Employee Sponsorships
Maintaining a small, well-paid crew
Building a community support network
Hiring farm workers during the off-season (pet-sitting, house-sitting, yard work, etc.)
Coordinating with local businesses before autumn
