Who We Are
Alemany Farm is a 4.5 acre working organic farm in southeastern San Francisco. The Farm is collaboratively managed by volunteers, San Francisco city officials, and residents of the Alemany community. Friends of Alemany Farm (FoAF) is a volunteer-managed project sponsored by the San Francisco Parks Trust. We are dedicated to working hand-in-hand with the surrounding community to increase food security and support environmental education for all San Francisco residents. FoAF oversees organic food production at the site, offers workshops and educational courses, coordinates the volunteer efforts, manages a free neighborhood produce delivery, and hosts field trips for children and adults.
Our Mission:
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.
Get Involved!
To get involved, join us on one of our community workdays. Our volunteer days are held from noon to 5pm, every First and Third Sunday of the month, and all the Saturdays in between.
