    Our Global Family Farm at City Farm SLO is a commu Our Global Family Farm at City Farm SLO is a community hub for volunteers, students and organizers. 

At the heart of the farm is permaculture, a philosophy Tree sees as far bigger than agriculture. “We want to get across that permaculture is a whole way of organizing society that is ethics based,” she says. “It’s not just gardening. It’s how you grow your food, collect and store water, gather and store energy, and treat your community.”

For Tree, permaculture is also about connection. “It’s literally the blending of permanent and culture,” she explains. “It’s about building community in your town and neighborhood — looking out for one another and sharing what you can.”

Farming in the city comes with challenges. The farm sits alongside the noisy freeway and commercial development and, like many urban spaces, it occasionally experiences theft and nearby encampments. But Tree says the greatest challenge is visibility: simply letting people know the farm exists.
