Wild Farmlands Foundation

Small urban and wild farmlands uniquely accommodate and preserve ecosystems while they supply quality food to local communities. Small urban farmlands are islands of bio-diverse green in the asphalt sprawl of human development. Wild farmlands personify natural sustainable agriculture, preserving ecosystems while providing premium quality foods.

California, as a representative of big agriculture in the developed countries of the world, is losing her small farms, and in particular the wild farmlands. We would like to change this.

Our vision is to see small sustainable farmlands that serve local communities thrive and increase in numbers not only here on the Central Coast, but worldwide. The Central Coast of California is in a unique position to lead the way.
