lasting change grows from connection with the land and its people across generations
meeting this moment
Based in the heart of East San José, we are an urban farm that is more than a farm. We exist to gather the people, grow our programs, nourish this place, and sustain its purpose to honor the generations before us, those here, and those ahead.
the challenge
Our region has been shaped by decades of exclusionary disinvestment, extractive systems, and ever-shrinking access to green space, fresh food, and resources for community care. These conditions affect the physical and emotional health of our residents, particularly those from historically marginalized and under-resourced communities.
our belief
We believe our community deserves a trusted gathering and educational space. A place where land is cared for, food is grown, and people can connect with nature and with each other.
