Food & GardenBerlinJoin a solidarity farming group (Solawi) near youShare harvest risk with a local farm Solidarische Landwirtschaft (Solawi) groups connect households with nearby farms: members pay a fair share, help on field days, and collect weekly veg boxes together. What you can do - Search the Solawi finder for a group near Berlin or your city - Visit an open day, meet the farmers, and ask about volunteer shifts and box sizes - Bring a friend: many groups need a few more members to balance the season plan How it works You sign a seasonal contract with the farm collective, not a supermarket supplier. Work days might include planting, weeding, or packing boxes; harvest shares reflect what the field actually yields. Why it matters Solawi keeps small farms on the land and gives city residents a direct stake in how food is grown.
