Green Valley Farm + Mill is a collective that is working to push the edges of land ownership and stewardship models. This place is located on Southern Pomo and Coast Miwok territory and is home to 15 adults, 2 kids, many cows, three dogs, two cats, numerous birds, coyote, steelhead and other flora and fauna; various buildings and infrastructure host several organizations from a variety of educational disciplines and designs; and, the land is actively managed by three farms that are growing food for our Bay Area community while tending the land through diversified production practices.
As we enter our fourth year, we're continuing the work of evolving our model and to hone our storytelling so that we can better achieve our mission of reconnecting people with land.
With over 400 million acres changing hands in the U.S. over the next twenty years, we need Green Valleys everywhere, not more consolidated, industrial-scale food production. Here's a shortlist of other land-based, agricultural projects that you might want to check out. These farms are places that are feeding their local community and have governance structures that are informing our new model:
- Soul Fire Farm
- Molino Creek Farming Collective
- Full Belly Farm
- Live Power Community Farm
- Pie Ranch
