We work with farms across Southern California to strengthen regional food production. Through direct farm operations and partnerships with growers, we help keep productive farmland active, resilient, and connected to the communities it serves.
These sites are central to SFUA's food production work across Southern California.
An urban farm in Irvine located at the South Coast Research and Extension Center, operated in partnership with Second Harvest Food Bank of Orange County and UC ANR, and supported by volunteers to grow fresh produce for local distribution.
A working farm in partnership with Westminster High School, Future Farmers of America, and CAP OC, connecting high school education, volunteer engagement, and food production to deliver fresh produce directly to the OC Food Bank.
In many communities facing nutrition insecurity, access to fresh, high-quality produce is limited. Food often arrives later in its lifecycle, with reduced nutritional value and shorter shelf life.
Our work closes that gap by growing fresh, locally grown produce at its peak and linking our production sites directly to existing distribution channels, ensuring that food reaches the communities that need it most.
