We are excited to share some incredible news! We are getting ready to expand and will soon start developing our Aquaponics Incubator Farm! (Woohoo!) We acquired the $2,000,000.00 it took to purchase the 3-acre lot, but we need community support to raise the additional funds it will take to begin construction. This Aquaponics Incubator Farm has the potential to grow over 180,000 pounds of food per year and create at least 12 new full-time living wage jobs in Sobrante Park. We aim to raise $3,000,000.00 to support not just our Aquaponics Incubator Farm but also the other projects we are currently working on.

In June of 2022, our Mother Orchard Farm suffered a horrible fire that wiped out 40% of our trees. Soon after, we were victims of a theft, where all of the rough electrical was stolen, thousands of dollars in labor and material gone in a matter of hours. We hope to raise funds needed to finalize The Good table, support our farm fire recovery efforts, and raise funds to begin construction at the Aquaponics Incubator Farm.

With the support of our community, we hope to raise funds to keep this progress moving forward! We want to continue to provide opportunities and support for our formerly incarcerated population, to continue to provide education to our youth, as well as continue to grow food, grow jobs, and grow community!

We cannot do it without you, so please share, like, and, if possible, donate today! Please visit our Fundraiser page to learn more about the projects Planting Justice is currently working on. https://plantingjustice.net/

Planting Justice is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization with an EIN of 27-0334905. 100% of donations are tax-exempt.

Recently, we planted over 900 native pollinator plants in two hedgerows on our Mother Farm in El Sobrante, CA!

The PJ Mother Farm is a 4-acre urban food forest with 1,100+ varieties of organic fruit & nut trees, berry bushes, and vines. Our Mother Farm Stewards harvest scion wood & cuttings, allowing our East Oakland Nursery to propagate many of the 1,500 varieties we sell across the U.S.

No fruit without pollination! These native plants—golden currant, milkweed, goldenrod, ceanothus, sagebrush, and more—support birds, snakes, spiders, and a diverse array of beneficial insects, creating a thriving ecosystem. This area, once covered in poison oak and invasive blackberry, is now a vibrant habitat.

Most plants were generously provided by the Xerces Society (), which helps farms restore native habitats and reduce reliance on imported pollinators.

Special thanks to Peter Lindsay, a Fall 2024 Intern in our collaboration with Merritt College’s Natural History & Sustainability Program (). Peter designed the planting and care plans, and we’re proud to offer paid internships at the Mother Farm and our East Oakland Nursery. Merritt College students, apply for Fall 2025 internships in the spring!

Thank you, Monica, and students from the Jesuit Seminary in Berkeley for helping plant 900 plants in just a few hours! We can’t wait to see these hedgerows buzzing with life next year.

Our Reentry Team has traveled to the Capitol numerous times, advocating for policies that address the barriers formerly incarcerated individuals face in rebuilding their lives.
This is our moment to decide whether we want slavery in California or not—Prop 6 gives us that choice.

This issue aligns deeply with our mission as we strive to dismantle systems that perpetuate inequity and support reentry pathways that foster empowerment, dignity, and community resilience.
