Central Coast Farms

At Central Coast Farms, we support small-medium scale rural and urban farmers by providing resources, technical assistance and training opportunities

We serve farmers from different cultures who operate a wide variety of farming operations, often with limited resources in both rural and urban settings. We also collaborate with various partners to enhance our local and regional food and farming systems.
