WHAT MAKES ZANKOFA FARM UNIQUE?
Urban Roots, Rural Passion
We come from the Bay Area, bringing an urban perspective to rural farming. Our journey into agriculture was driven by a lifelong dream to connect people with their food sources.
Minority-Owned & Culturally Inclusive
Less than 1% of farmers in the U.S. are Black, and even fewer raise livestock. As a Black- and Latino-owned farm, we are breaking barriers and making farming more accessible and welcoming for all. Se habla Español.
A True Farm Experience
Both Crops & Livestock – While many farms focus on either crops or animals, we do both! We raise over 20 varieties of chickens, ducks, turkeys, peacocks, guinea hens, goats, sheep, and pigs, alongside a diverse range of heirloom vegetables and specialty crops.
A Farm That Gives Back
We don’t just grow food we share it. Most of what we grow is donated to families, schools, and organizations to help improve food access in our community.
Unforgettable Experiences
Our farm is a place for hands-on learning. We host workshops, educational programs, and farm tours to make agriculture fun, engaging, and accessible to all.
Our Home is Your Learning Space
Zankofa Farm isn’t just a business it’s our home and way of life. We welcome visitors with open arms, but we ask that you respect the land, the animals, and the hard work that goes into running a farm.
