Hello,
We at Central Coast Grown are looking to attract additional talent and experience to our team of dedicated Board Members. Specifically we are looking for people with experience in event planning, fundraising, grant writing, and/or food systems work.
We are working hard to develop our main program: City Farm - San Luis Obispo.
City Farm is a collective of small, beginning farmers, including a 1.5 acre educational farm that promotes eco-literacy and agricultural awareness.
We are San Luis Obispo’s first urban farm, spanning 20 acres in the heart of the City on the Calle Joaquin Ag Reserve. The land has been leased to Central Coast Grown for agricultural purposes as one way to uphold a city policy that requires 50% of prime agricultural land to remain under production.
If you want to be part of a growing movement to educate the next generation on the importance of food, agriculture, and community, please contact us or visit:

We look forward to hearing from you!Thank you,
Central Coast Grown
