Soil Born Farms Urban Agriculture Project allows youth and adults to rediscover and participate in a system of food production and distribution that promotes healthy living, nurtures the environment and brings people together to share the simple pleasures of living in harmony with nature. Soil Born is committed to developing programming focused on organic food production, healthy food education and food access for all residents.
The Kaiser Permanente "Veggie Chase 5K and Kids Runs" celebrates Soil Born's 25-Acre American River Farm site! This site is currently in development stages and will be producing certified organic vegetables, fruits, and eggs on about 4 acres. Located between the urban edge of Rancho Cordova and the American River (adjacent to Hagan Park) this farm will be the long-term home of Soil Born Farms Urban Agriculture Project. This event celebrates the incredible efforts and mission of this OUTSTANDING organization!
