City of Richmond, Parks and Landscaping Division

The Richmond Foodshed Collaborative (RFC) will empower teens to take leaderhip in creating a local “foodshed” on public lands throughout Richmond; this will eventually transform our community’s relationship to the commons and improve our local food supply. We will create a technical assistance team, an urban agriculture class, and a foodshed council to start and sustain numerous replicable models of municipal orchards, berry patches, and school and community gardens.
