About this organization
Mission
To provide farm based education and job training opportunities for people with disabilities.
About
At Common Roots Farm, people with and without disabilities can participate on our urban community farm, taking care of plants and animals, and creating friendships with one another that sustain everyone. We grow a variety of vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers while providing farm skills training, internships, environmental and gardening education and micro-enterprise opportunities on approximately four acres right in the heart of Santa Cruz, CA. During fiscal 2018 the Farm held farm days for local preschools, home schoolers, Stanford University, churches, and a day program for adults with disabilities and planted 100 of mixed dahlias providing 75-100 stems of beautiful dahlias weekly during the growing season, thanks to the Monterey Bay Dahlia Society. The Farm also hosted educational workshops conducted by the Monterey Bay Master Gardeners including bare root fruit tree planting, chicken care, succulent propagation, and dahlia care. Additionally, the Farm received a donation of hydroponic growing equipment with vertical towers suitable for farmers with mobility impairments, thanks to Sweaty Sheep Ministry. The Farm began riparian habitat restoration with widespread removal of invasive species along our creek and increased our number of farm volunteers who commit anywhere from 2-20 hours/week to help us grow.
