Alemany
Farm is a project of the Alemany Resident Management Corporation,
a non-profit organization dedicated to improving conditions in the
Alemany Community, a 165-unit public housing development beset by
high unemployment and recurring violence. The Alemany Resident Management
Corporation believes that we can address the root causes of violence
by providing youth with meaningful opportunities for advancement.
Our fiscal sponsor is Renaissance Parents of Success, a Bayview
Hunters Point organization with a strong track record of helping
at-risk teens.
To help fulfill our goals, we are working with volunteer gardeners
from throughout San Francisco who are helping to share horticulture
skills with Alemany residents.

Alemany Farm empowers San Francisco
residents to grow their own food,
and through that process encourages people to become more engaged
with their communities. We grow organic food and green jobs for
low-income communities, while sowing the seeds for economic and
environmental justice
Alemany
Farm accomplishes this mission through four main goals:
1. Ecological-Economic Development: Growing
jobs for Alemany residents.
2. Food Security:
Providing organic, healthy food to local community members.
3. Environmental
Education: Introducing children and adults to the wonders of the
natural world and the importance of local food production.
4. Building People’s
Power: Engaging residents in decision-making processes and activities
that foster community involvement to organize for social, economic,
and environmental justice.
To get involved, join us on one
of our community workdays. Our volunteer days are the First and
Third Sundays of every month, and the Saturdays in between.
