CBS did a beautiful story on Espiri Santos’ journey from farmworker to farm owner. Espiri’s story exemplifies ALBA’s mission to create economic opportunity for limited-resource farmers, the majority of whom are Mexican immigrant farmworkers. On our 100-acre farm in the heart of the Salinas Valley, ALBA provides education, on-farm training and subsidized access to land and farm equipment to aspiring farmers over 5 years, enabling them to achieve the dream of organic farm ownership. Through the program, ALBA has launched and incubated over 250 organic farms, over 90% of which are Latino owned organic farms.

Your donations will help farmworkers take the bold leap to farm ownership, and contribute to bringing greater equity and sustainability to agriculture.
