"A community-oriented farm in southern California whose programming extends beyond U-pick to a produce shop, educational programs for children and adults, open community farming, and several BIPOC-focused nonprofit initiatives; early pandemic programming was paused but staff plan a phased return with strict distancing, guided by the collective’s democratic decision-making. The farm is partnering with an organic-research nonprofit to create a U-pick, no-till pumpkin patch and hopes to involve local sixth-grade classes in hands-on studies of soil carbon and pre-colonial Chumash farming practices." - Nick Mancall-Bitel
