You can explore the picturesque U-Pick farms nestled in Half Moon Bay, Pacifica, and many more locations on the Peninsula and greater and handpick locally grown produce. Experience the joy of harvesting your own fruits and vegetables!
2. JOIN AN OCEAN CLEANUP
Make a tangible difference by participating in the Pacific Beach Coalition's Earth Day of Action Eco-Fest.
