Soil
Born Farms Urban Agriculture Project has always considered the “farm” to
be the nucleus of the organization. In fact, a small urban farm is
where everything began. Our original vision for the project was to create
an urban organic farm that not only preserved and nurtured a plot of undeveloped
city land but fostered a sense of community by reconnecting people
with locally grown foods. We are consistently making great strides toward
this vision. The original farm on Hurley Way continues
to evolve and mature in its organic food production and food education
activities. And the permanent preservation and development of our
new 25 acre American River Ranch site,
begun in 2007, promises to be a great community resource. Additionally,
through the cultivation of collaborations and partnerships, Soil Born Farms
has assisted in the development of new urban growing sites including small
farms and community gardens. These food-producing resources provide healthy
produce to areas in Sacramento with limited access to fresh fruits and
vegetables. Through the replication of gardens and small farms throughout
the county we hope to slowly assist in the creation of a truly “local” food
system using sustainable food production practices.
