A Trip to the Farm

The future Planting Justice farm is located on a sunny 5 acre hillside in El Sobrante, California just 15 minutes from downtown Oakland.

Our farm will produce organic fresh food to be shared and sold off-site through retail outlets, farmers' market stands, restaurants, and though a neighborhood CSA box delivered directly to the adjacent community residents at various drop-off points (potentially churches and schools in the area).

The majority of farm activities will take place on the "South Facing Slope" parcel. Phase one (2014-2015) includes the following: 1) setting up irrigation and rainwater harvesting infrastructure; 2) installing a greenhouse for seed-saving and the propagation of important edible plants that excel in our climate and are resilient to climate change; 3) installing a yurt and open-air covered work-space for shade and comfort; and 4) installing the beginnings of a sustainable, edible landscape with fruit trees, berries, flowers, and native plants that will create habitat for important pollinator species, provide healthy food for the community, and create space to learn and celebrate solutions for a more sustainable planet.

Come take a tour of our future farm and help us plant our first perennials!
