We are moving VeggiePalooza to an ecovillage, and expanding from a single food security and sovereignty hub to an incubator of locally managed food hubs everywhere! Help us make the move and launch the next phase of our programs.
The Coronavirus pandemic exacerbated food production and access challenges that climate change will redouble in the coming decade. Local communities need to scale up and decentralize food production to strengthen food security.
We advocate for environmentally responsible relationships to the land by teaching and promoting organic gardening, permaculture, and native landscaping. We advocate for socially and environmentally responsible land use and climate policy.
We mobilize Eden Area neighbors and local nonprofit projects to strengthen local food security in the San Francisco East Bay through the proliferation of backyard and community gardens, food and plant exchanges, and community education.

Our local programs are now being fulfilled by Castro Valley's own ForestR.org or fully integrated into the community. In 2024, this site will become a resource to help others start and run their own initiatives to foster local food security through home and community gardens.
