Good morning all, we need your help reaching Richmond residents, especially North Richmond and San Pablo residents, to answer a few questions and take our surve...y that will help guide the vision for the North Richmond farm design. This process ensures that our community’s needs are heard and met. Questions include art components, safety, and overall design feedback of the farm. Successful outreach also helps in acquiring funds to build these projects out, so the more surveys we receive, the more projects we can get started on in the next few years! So spread the word!
