City Slicker Farms

Are you ready to help us turn the West Oakland Farm and Park from a vision into reality -- and get some awesome rewards in return? We've launched a crowdfunding campaign on Barnraiser and we need the support of the entire City Slicker Farms community! We've already purchased the land with a state grant and now we need to raise $25,000 to start construction. With your help, we'll build a community garden, a fruit tree orchard, a greenhouse, and educational spaces including a nutrition demo area and beehives.

For the past 14 years, City Slicker Farms has been growing healthy food with West Oakland. In that time, we've produced over 219,000 pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables, built over 200 backyard gardens, and cultivated a community of urban farmers of all ages -- but we've also had to pack up and move out of several sites. Now it's time to get rooted in West Oakland with a permanent Urban Farm and Park: a space for growing, gathering, and learning that we'll never have to leave.

Check out our Barnraiser to learn more about the West Oakland Farm and Park and donate. You can win great rewards like calendars and cards designed by local artists, a writing workshop with Farm Cityauthor Novella Carpenter, and a supper tasting at Dashe Cellars. Help us create permanent farmland and community space for West Oakland! Support the West Oakland Urban Farm and Park today.
