4worldlovers: “This is my happy place, I love coming over here. I think because of the energy and the volunteer spirit here, our food is that much better.”

Food is a fundamental part of everyday life and we believe it should be grown and harvested where we live. In October 2013, Garden to Table Silicon Valley installed 2,500 square feet of raised beds to develop Taylor Street Farm. We aim to educate people how to grow their own food and empower them to take control of their food system. We are a group of passionate individuals striving to create the world we wish for ourselves, our families, and our community. We love what we do, together, and hope you will join us in our mission.

To create a sustainable, local food system that builds community, improves access to healthy foods, and teaches residents to cultivate their own fruits, vegetables, and herbs.

To inspire a more equitable, nutritious, and just food system through community education and engagement.

4worldlovers: One of the cornerstones of the developmentally-based education at Ohlone is the Ohlone Farm, which provides a place where children can interact with and learn about nature. A physical embodiment of Ohlone's Core Values, the Farm helps foster an awareness of the environment, the nurturing and caring of animals, cooperative learning, and respect for living organisms. Activities on the Farm help give children a sense of accomplishment, promote self-esteem, and allow for exploration and discovery in a peaceful, inviting, intellectually stimulating and safe environment.
