  • We are a joint project of the University of California at Berkeley and the central East Bay community located in Albany, CA. The existing farm came to fruition after years of struggle to establish sustainable urban agriculture and food system research on the Gill Tract (the remaining land from a family farm established in 1889).

    Our mission is to conduct community-driven research, education and extension focused on food justice and agro-ecological principles. We want to foster increased resilience in vulnerable communities, a healthy environment and equitable economies.

    OUR OFFERS:

    1. A shared vision for building a resilient and regenerative society
    2. Ideas, skills and tool sharing
