About Alameda Point Collaborative and Farm2Market:
Alameda Point Collaborative (APC) is the largest supportive housing community in the county, working to end homelessness by providing housing and services to create communities where formerly homeless families and individualscan flourish. APC's Farm2Market (F2M) is a diversified working urban farm and a social enterprise of Alameda Point Collaborative. The farm consists of 2 acres of vegetable crops, fruit orchards, bee hives, and ducks. We use our passion for community, food, and the environment to support APC residents as they move toward economic self-sufficiency and greater health and wellness. The farm employs APC residents through a workforce development program, which uses the hands-on work of farm production, marketing, sales, and customer relations as key activities through which trainees can learn work readiness skills, understand workplace behaviors, and practice personal and team accountability. We offer workforce development programs for youth residents (ages 14-17) in the spring, summer, and fall. The farm also operates a CSA business and free weekly grocery delivery to residents of APC in collaboration with the Alameda County Community Food Bank.
