Mission

Soil Born Farms is a non-profit urban agriculture and education project whose mission is to empower people to participate in a local food system that encourages health, nurtures the environment and grows a sustainable community. Since 2004 our organization has developed and run interconnected programs focused on skill building for personal, community and environmental health. Our 55-acre organic farm and education center is a permanently protected open space resource located in a dense urban area of Sacramento County. As caretakers of this community treasure, Soil Born Farms is fulfilling the site’s potential as a dynamic center for hands-on learning, youth empowerment, healthy food access, community gathering, culinary exchange, and environmental stewardship. In addition to supporting school garden education across the Sacramento region, we offer visitors with experiences on the farm through our learning gardens, fruit orchard, vegetable row crops, on-site farm stand, youth garden, kids play area, learning kitchen, schoolhouse classroom, habitat plantings, 10 acres of restored creek habitat, and outdoor classrooms.
