What started as a vision to bring fresh, healthy food to the community has grown into a movement rooted in care, education, and sustainability. We believe in nurturing both the land and the people it serves.

We grow more than food—we grow awareness, opportunity, and community. By combining sustainable agriculture with education and outreach, we’re building a healthier tomorrow.
In 2015, a small group of visionaries came together with a shared belief—that access to fresh, healthy food should never be a privilege, but a right. What began as a grassroots effort with just 12 dedicated individuals quickly grew into a powerful community movement.
Through sustainable farming and collective action, BUFA has continued to nurture both land and lives, creating opportunities for education, wellness, and long-term change. Today, our story is one of growth, resilience, and an unwavering commitment to building healthier communities from the ground up.
BUFA’s mission is to improve health and reduce hunger by growing and providing fresh, locally grown, pesticide-free food to underserved communities while promoting sustainable agriculture, nutrition education, and community wellness.
Black Urban Farmers Association was founded through the vision and collaboration of community members committed to food access, urban agriculture, and community wellness.

Voices from the Community
As a fellow farmer, I have had the privilege of witnessing BUFA’s impact on the local food landscape. Their ability to mobilize resources, connect with local residents, and provide access to high-quality produce is commendable. BUFA’s work extends far beyond the farm, enriching the lives of individuals and families in Stockton

BUFA’s dedication to educating and involving our students in urban farming and food accessibility initiatives was inspiring. The service day provided a hands-on opportunity for our students to contribute to BUFA’s mission while gaining a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by our community.
