The vision of the Portola Green Plan was created by a diverse group of Portola neighbors in 2015 with input from hundreds of local residents. 770 Woolsey, part of that vision, is a unique urban site that offers an opportunity to retain the agricultural history of the Portola and create a sustainable and thriving resource for generations.
“To have a working farm in the middle of San Francisco’s garden district is a pretty wonderful opportunity.”
PORTOLA FARM:
770 Woolsey Street, San Francisco
COMMUNITY EVENT SPACE with access to a regular farmer’s market, commercial kitchen, and training opportunities.
HISTORICAL TRIBUTE honoring the long history of urban agriculture and family gardening in the Portola.
THRIVING URBAN FARM modeling environmentally sustainable food production in an urban setting.
EDUCATIONAL HUB where visitors learn about gardening, sustainable urban farming, and healthy food.
