The Berkeley Basket Foundation grows equitable access to fresh food, flowers, and hands-on agricultural education for our neighborhoods.
The Berkeley Basket Foundation cultivates healthy, resilient communities by increasing equitable access to fresh food, beautiful flowers, and hands-on agricultural education. Through urban farming, environmental stewardship, and community partnerships, we nurture the land while fostering belonging, wellness, and opportunities for the next generation of growers.
We believe everyone deserves access to nourishing food, the beauty of flowers, and meaningful connections to the natural world — regardless of income or background.
Vegetables nourish our bodies, flowers nourish our hearts and spirits, education nourishes our future, and caring for the land nourishes the ecosystems that sustain us all.
Free and sliding-scale CSA memberships that remove barriers to fresh, locally grown produce.
Sharing flowers freely as an expression of care, dignity, and beauty for the whole community.
Hands-on training that grows the next generation of urban growers and land stewards.
Restoring pollinator habitat and practicing regenerative, ecological farming on urban land.
Welcoming spaces where people gather, learn, and build relationships with each other and the land.
The Berkeley Basket Foundation is the charitable partner to Berkeley Basket CSA, created to expand the farm's community impact through equitable food access, environmental stewardship, education, and community connection.
While Berkeley Basket CSA continues to operate as a sustainable urban farm, the Foundation exists to grow the public good — raising tax-deductible donations, securing grants, and building partnerships that make these programs accessible to everyone.
Together, the farm and the Foundation demonstrate how a sustainable business and a mission-driven nonprofit can strengthen one another to build healthier communities.
Fresh, healthy food is increasingly out of reach for many families.
Not everyone has the same access to locally grown produce and flowers.
Fewer shared spaces mean fewer opportunities to build community.
Urban landscapes need restored habitat for pollinators and wildlife.
Your tax-deductible gift helps expand free and sliding-scale CSA memberships, share flowers freely, and train the next generation of growers.
