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.
