The Stanford Community Farm is a productive and educational space that provides Stanford community members the opportunity to practice and learn about sustainable agriculture. The site—establish decades ago, and reinvigorated in 1997 through a student proposal—is divided between educational space and small private plots for Stanford faculty, staff, and graduate students. Stanford Dining is currently collaborating with a group of students to connect the educational space to Stanford’s kitchens.

Directions to the Stanford Community Farm

Starting at Tresidder...
Take Santa Teresa out past FroSoCo.
Turn right on Campus Drive.
Take the next left on Searsville Rd. (there's a crosswalk).
Follow Searsville Rd. and continue as it turns right, past the Environmental Safety Facility (ESF) which will be on your left.

Just past the ESF, there is a small lane on the left. There is a sign for the community farm.

Turn left, follow the lane to its end, go through the oak trees and follow the dirt/mulch road around the perimeter of the farm.

ALBA Organics in Salinas, CA provides distribution and market access for about 30 small organic farms to expand and diversify their production. The Agriculture and Land-Based Training Association (ALBA) “generates opportunities for farm workers and limited-resource, aspiring farmers to grow and sell crops” to institutional purchasers like the Stanford Produce Stand. ALBA's mission is to “advance economic viability, social equity and ecological land management among limited-resource and aspiring farmers.”
