Program participants receive a fully stocked garden at no cost to them, complete with raised bed planter boxes, seedlings raised in the City Slicker Farms greenhouse, soil and compost. Gardeners then partner with an experienced staff or volunteer mentor who offers support, educational curriculum and/or technical assistance tailored for each individual and site, as well as gardening supplies and seedlings for two years. For many of our institutional and community group partners, we also provide garden-based curriculum to engage their clients in lessons on ecology and nutrition. The Garden Program benefits our community in many ways. For young children, exposure to school gardens and natural environments improves social and emotional development, fosters collaborative skills, alleviates stress, and improves dietary choices. For adults and senior citizens, gardens provide affordable fresh produce, opportunities for recreation and exercise, and for some, the ability to carry out a lifelong hobby that promotes wellbeing. For all of our program participants, we have found that increasing the availability of fresh produce through gardening, and pairing it with nutrition classes focused on preparing healthy meals, creates positive health outcomes for program participants. Every year participants report saving money on grocery bills, eating a more nutritious diet, and strengthening their community by sharing their bounty with neighbors. 104264 The West Oakland Farm Park is 1.4 acre working urban farm, educational space, and outdoor recreation site located at 2847 Peralta St. in Oakland, CA. It was created and conceived by and for the 3,000 community members in the surrounding neighborhoods, and intended to be a focal point of community pride and activity for residents of West Oakland. It is a safe space for recreation and connects neighbors over the growing, preparing and sharing of food; promotes environmental conservation, serves as an example of how we can reclaim the ecological integrity of the land; and expand access to healthy foods for low income families in Oakland. The Farm Park is also where we lead community workshops and skill shares as well as host other organizations, leaders and teachers to share knowledge about sustainable farming techniques and culinary skills. We honor and celebrate the different types of knowledge, skills and abilities within our community and this program reflects the diversity traditions and abilities. 104264 City Slicker Farms is part of the Town Fridge collective, a network of refrigerators across Oakland that provide free food to anyone who needs it. At the West Oakland Farm Park we grow thousands of pounds of food each year that we distribute through the refrigerator on the perimeter of our property. Our "Farm to Fridge" program increases healthy food access to the community and supports mutual aid networks by also providing pantry space for non-perishable foods and supplies. First priority goes to unhoused, low- and fixed-income and BIPOC community members, as well as members of our Garden Program. However, any community members may drop off food and any community members may pick up food. 364924 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 5 0 true 6 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 8 8 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X X Foresta Sieck-Hill 5107634241 2847 Peralta St Oakland CA 94608 Kelly ErnstFriedman Executive Dir. 40.00 0.00 X 51621 0 0 Jana Cain President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Tyron Jordan Vice President 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 David Wozniak Treasurer 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Sara Draper-Zivetz Secretary 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Tina Broder Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Damon Johnson Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Hannah Tikalsky Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Zachary Rickrode-Fernandez Board Member 2.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 51621 0 false false false 0 43390 196756 240146 Affordable Housg Gardens 7067 7067 Farm Events 2369 2369 Garden Building Fees 60345 60345 Program Consultations 500 500 Workshops/Events 5810 5810 76091 522 522 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Cancellation of Debt 16370 16370 16370 333129 92983 0 0 0 0 51621 41297 5162 5162 0 126709 101367 12671 12671 0 38072 30458 3807 3807 14462 11570 1446 1446 0 0 21598 17278 2160 2160 0 0 0 2647 2119 264 264 2209 1767 221 221 3581 2865 358 358 0 0 41599 33279 4160 4160 0 0 0 3813 3813 0 84676 67741 8468 8467 11787 9430 1179 1178 Construction Supplies 17467 17467 Gardening Supplies & Materials 14293 14293 Meetings & Events 5863 4690 587 586 Automobile Expenses 5729 4583 573 573 5053 4720 167 166 451179 364924 45036 41219 237993 180063 68 0 11110 6211 0 0 0 0 0 4486680 565914 4005442 3920766 0 0 0 0 21001 0 4275546 4107108 51633 11344 130000 119901 181633 131245 X 183343 65293 3910570 3910570 4093913 3975863 4275546 4107108 -118050 X false false false X 391987 190311 222647 335310 176750 1317005 0 0 391987 190311 222647 335310 176750 1317005 19130 1297875 233 92 6 522 853 0 16370 16370 1334228 0.97280 0.99960 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 2581071 2581071 709178 152558 556620 1157758 375977 781781 38673 37379 1294 3920766 Rounding 1 SBA Loan 119900 119901 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The Executive Director is responsible for the timely preparation of the Form 990 and 199.
