Two Farms One Mission

The Buttonwillow and South Central Farms are intricately linked in our mission to a more holistic and equitable food system. And,  to creating independent and  autonomous communities through sustainable jobs.

 

What made the South Central Farm so meaningful was its ability to build community out of diversity.


Now we are expanding that spirit to the Central valley. We hope more areas will join us as we work to benefit the general community, society,  and environment.


The Farm Project

Over the last seven months, through a web of support and an amazing show of generosity, a myriad of local and national businesses have donated materials and labor in excess of $150,000 to rebuild the existing defunct well and make it viable for farming.


The Well Project has made real the South Central Farmers' dream to farm their own land, organically and sustainably, now and for generations of farmers to come.
