Our Mission
City Farm SLO represents a unique collaboration among municipal government, a non-profit organization, business enterprises, educational institutions, and public and private funding agencies committed to the revival of community engagement in sustainable agriculture.
Our mission is to manage San Luis Obispo’s 19-acre Calle Joaquin Ag Reserve to achieve the goals specified in the City’s Master Plan:
-
Enable sustainable crop production by small farmers
-
Provide area youth with on-site educational programs
-
Engage the community in the life of an urban farm
What a difference a few years make when you have enough sunshine, soil, water, and love to give! Just four years ago, SLO City Farm planted its first seeds. Now, the farm has truly come into its own.

You folks are all making the Farm so much better of a community asset than I could have imagined.
