Huerta Del Valle
• A Vision For The Future•

San Bernardino County Museum, 2014 Orange Tree Lane, Redlands
Imagine the Inland Empire with a community garden within every mile. A locally grown, sustainable and just source of food within our communities. Farming right here, providing healthy food access, nutrition education, and economic development. This is just some of the vision of Huerta Del Valle, a community organization with farms in Ontario, Jurupa Valley, Riverside and several future locations in the works. Partners supporting this effort include many local agencies, universities and conservation groups.
Join us Tuesday to learn more about this project. Representatives from Huerta Del Valle will come talk to us about their vision and goals. Learn about their current gardens and Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program. The gardens’ benefits go beyond food production, with educational and economic opportunities for local community members.
Many of you attended our Green New Deal town hall in May and learned about various ways to combat climate change. Agriculture and large-scale food production is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions and climate change. Moving towards local agriculture as envisioned by Huerta Del Valle not only provides good, healthy food – it is one important step in combating climate change.
Meetings are open to the public and free of charge.
