Edible Schoolyard Community Farm in Stockton

The Edible Schoolyard Project Stockton supports community health and wellbeing by providing access to food, land, and learning experiences for students and families. Our Community Farm is a classroom, gathering space, learning lab, community garden, and productive farm for South Stockton schools and community. The farm is located at 466 S Ventura Avenue in the Boggs Tract neighborhood. Learn more about each of our programs below and reach out to get involved. Follow us on Instagram @edibleschoolyardstockton to learn more and hear about upcoming events.
