Excerpt:
Seeds of Solidarity, the urban farm program of NorCal Resist, a mutual aid organization, had cared for a small parcel of state-owned land in West Sacramento since 2020 and signed another 5-year lease in late 2024.
Food is provided for free to anyone who communicates a need, through NorCal Resist’s food distribution network, which also includes dry goods and shelf-stable goods, and serves about 5,500 individual families annually. Last year, Seeds of Solidarity grew over 9,000 pounds of food (almost double what it grew the previous year) on less than one acre of land for a total of about 23,000 pounds since its start. It grows primarily for immigrant and refugee populations.
“The biggest success is the amount of food that we’ve grown for our community — full stop,” said co-founder Kelsey Brewer, whose professional work is as an agroecologist and soil scientist for the state of California. He has farmed for the last 18 years, the last nine of which have been as an urban farmer in West Sacramento.
“A lot of the communities that we serve range anywhere from Central and South American to Afghan and Central Asian to Ukrainian to lots of different types of food cultures,” Brewer said.
