Black Urban
Farmer's Association

Positively impacting health and hunger since 2015

Pesticide Free Produce

Our commitment to well-being transcends mere nutrition. We cultivate our fruits and vegetables without the use of chemical pesticides, fostering the health of plants, pollinators, soil, air, and the very planet we inhabit.

Rooted in Community Empowerment

Located in the fertile San Joaquin Valley, BUFA is inside the small town of French Camp, CA. We are constantly learning, cultivating, and expanding to better serve our community.

Keeping it Local

We are an alliance of farmers who have united behind the cause of wanting a healthier, affordable way to access fresh produce. Based in the heart of California’s Central Valley, BUFA aims to combat the barriers that separate urban communities from access to fresh, real, and whole food.

Who is BUFA?

Black Urban Farmers Association (BUFA) was established in 2015 by a group of 12 people and countless supporters, all of whom brought their dedication and passion to positively impact change. These individuals had an unwavering desire to grow and make available healthy, all natural food to the local community.
