rooted in our land and community, we honor our past and nurture the future
meeting this moment
Based in the heart of East San José, we are an urban farm that is more than a farm. Our roots run much deeper into community care.
the challenge
Our region has been shaped by generations of disinvestment, depletive systems, and ever-shrinking access to green space, fresh food, and resources for community care. These conditions affect the physical, mental, and emotional health of our residents, particularly those from historically under-resourced communities.
our belief
Rising to these realities means ensuring our neighborhood has a trusted gathering and educational space—a place where land is cared for, food is grown, and our people connect with nature and each another.
