Community Roots Farm

In every space we steward and wherever we are, we prioritize ensuring that everyone feels safe, is safe, and feels welcome. We take this even more seriously for those of us in our communities who more often are experiencing prejudices and violences.

Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, whom we lease from, is not allowing us to put up this sign on the property. While we may not be able to post this sign on the property we want you know that this is what we steward, despite being on property where the landowners hold strong prejudices against those in our community.

We are navigating communications and what the future of what is our only urban farm in Oceanside will be.

If this place has been important to you in some way, any way, over the years, we invite you to send us stories, letters, photos, or art. Let us document what this place means for our communities, our lives, and cultures, and our well-being. You can drop them off at the farm or send them to us via email to [email protected]

Please join us in officially welcoming this summer season.

We are living through some unprecedented times. We want to hold space for all the suffering we are witnessing and also mirror that with an abundance of hope through connecting with our neighbors, sharing food, and dancing around a fire.
This is going to be a relaxed, potluck-style gathering. Our staff will be providing an olla de vegan chocoyotes and if you'd like to bring a dish, you are more than welcome!!
Please email [email protected] so we can plan! Are you a musician interested in playing for our communtiy? Email us, we would love to have you. The lovely will be doing a live paint and we will have a few seed sowing activities happening. These events are free, but we will be accepting donations so that we can continue to host these gatherings.

Únete a nosotros para dar la bienvenida oficialmente a esta temporada de verano. Estamos viviendo tiempos sin precedentes. Queremos dejar espacio para todo el sufrimiento que estamos presenciando y también reflejarlo con abundante esperanza al conectarnos con nuestros vecinos, compartir comida y bailar alrededor del fuego. Esta será una reunión relajada al estilo de una comida compartida. Nuestro equipo proporcionaremos una olla de chocoyotes veganos y si desea traer un plato, ¡eres más que bienvenido! ¡Envíe un correo electrónico a [email protected] para que podamos planificar! ¿Eres un músico interesado en tocar para nuestra comunidad? Envíanos un correo electrónico, nos encantaría tenerte. La encantadora pintará en vivo y tendremos algunas actividades de siembra de semillas. Estos eventos son gratuitos, pero aceptaremos donaciones para poder continuar organizando estas reuniones.

We feel strongly that our work is in service to dismantling white supremacy, settler colonial logics, transphobia, ableism, homophobia, and human supremacy where it lives within us and our communities.

By knowing deeply the plants around us, the land, the organisms we co-habitate with, we know deeply ourselves and each other. And through this understanding will come love and care and healing - for one’s self, our community, and every living and non-living entity with which we are a part of whole with.

Don’t ever wonder where we stand on these things because we want it to be clear. Don’t ever tell us to quiet down when we speak our truths of our communities. We are here for it. We love you.
