About the Farm

Background

Alemany Farm, situated on 4.5 acres in San Francisco's southeast side, is managed by Friends of Alemany Farm. The farm operates on the unceded ancestral homeland of the Ramaytush Ohlone peoples. It has become a cornerstone for food security and community engagement, providing free produce to neighbors and volunteers. The farm is supported by Earth Island Institute, a nonprofit organization with a long history of promoting ecological sustainability and environmental justice.

Practices

Alemany Farm employs organic farming methods to cultivate fruits and vegetables. The farm emphasizes environmental education, teaching both children and adults about the benefits of local food production within a healthy ecosystem. Through communal workdays, the farm fosters a sense of community and encourages active participation in decision-making. Additionally, the farm uses urban agriculture to develop job skills, promoting ecological-economic development.

The Rest

The farm welcomes volunteers on the first and third Sundays of every month. It offers a variety of workshops on topics related to urban agriculture, which are donation-based and open to all. Alemany Farm has been featured in several news outlets, highlighting its role in community gardening and food security. The farm collaborates with numerous local organizations and provides resources for those interested in gardening and food justice.
