We need YOUR help to increase the amount of nutritious food we grow and gardeners that we support in the Bay Area. The need for more affordable produce, gardens and green space is growing more each day and we want to expand our impact in 2021. Donate now and support low-income community members in meeting the immediate and basic need for fresh, healthy food for themselves and their families.
City Slicker Farms stands in solidarity with the millions who are taking to the streets in protest against the state sanctioned murder and systemic oppression of Black people. We condemn police brutality, and we grieve for the lives lost to racial inequality.
The Farm Park is open daily from 11-5, but bathrooms, water fountains, and farm area remain closed to the public. Staff are focusing energy on expanding food production on the farm; increasing supplies and support for backyard and partner gardeners, including increasing greenhouse starts and online and phone mentoring; and providing safe, socially distant outdoor experiences for the community.
I think being a leader is understanding when it’s
time to lead and when it’s time to step back and let other people lead, because you have to let people grow.
In a crowded city full of cars and
concrete, it’s so cool when someone can have a piece of nature in their backyard
and some self-sufficiency when it comes to their food. I like being a part of that.
