Our Global Family Farm is a Demo Permaculture Farm
that features a Food Forest that showcases food crops from the four corners of the globe.
"Located on City Farm SLO, Our Global Family Farm is a prime example of regenerative agriculture and urban farming in action. One of their main causes is honoring Indigenous cultures which can be seen in their Food Forest permaculture farm where they grow food crops from all over the world year-round.
Although available to the public every Sunday, we recommend attending one of their monthly multicultural potlucks to learn more about the farm and connect with others about horticultural traditions and culture over food made and grown with love."
(Note: This quote is from a recent blog in Redfin real estate company promoting things to do in SLO. Veiw more below.)
ConsumerNotice.org also has asked us to promote the use of organic alternatives to the chemical Roundup, which we gladly will do since we use no chemicals on the farm. Learn more on their website below.
2024 Volunteer Opportunities: Sundays 9am to 1pm
One of the main reasons Our Global Family Farm was founded in 2014 was to create a place for families to come visit and volunteer at a permaculture farm in the greater San Luis Obispo area. We've dedicated this 1/4 acre piece of public farmland to education about how to grow food in an ecological way. We hope you’ll help us continue this work by volunteering on every Sunday 9am to 1pm. Then on Sunday afternoons from 1pm to 3pm we deliver our surplus produce to the meal giveaway at Mitchell Park, SLO through the Food Not Bombs program.
2024 Multicultural Family Potlucks
One of our main causes here at Our Global Family Farm is to honor indigenous cultures, here locally along the Central Coast of California and globally. Multicultural Potlucks are held monthly on the farm connect us to our roots ---- our family & cultural heritage around eating food as well as horticultural traditions of how people from around the world grow their food. Come create a family tradition of your own by attending these cultural events.
Another one of our goals is to ensure that people gain knowledge about the wisdom of plants and how to utilize crops from around the globe. Let's learn from plants about how beneficial they are for humans. We also offer permaculture workshops and multicultural potlucks on the third Sunday every month at 1pm.
