Mission
KABA RAFA is dedicated to educating and empowering individuals and youth through hands-on farming and ranching experiences. We foster sustainable agricultural practices, regenerative land stewardship, and community resilience by providing inclusive learning opportunities in plant cultivation, animal husbandry, farm management, and agribusiness development on our 70-acre educational farm in Potter Valley, CA.
Vision
To cultivate a thriving community where regenerative farming practices restore the land, nurture biodiversity, and inspire a new generation of knowledgeable and passionate stewards committed to sustainable agriculture and environmental harmony.
Values
- Education & Empowerment: We believe in accessible, experiential learning that equips individuals with practical skills and knowledge to succeed in agriculture and land management.
- Sustainability & Regeneration: We prioritize farming methods that restore soil health, enhance biodiversity, and promote long-term ecological balance.
- Community & Inclusivity: We foster a welcoming environment where people of all backgrounds can learn, share, and grow together.
- Stewardship & Responsibility: We commit to caring for the land and animals ethically, ensuring the well-being of future generations.
- Innovation & Tradition: We honor traditional farming wisdom while embracing innovative techniques to adapt and thrive in a changing world.
How We Connect With the Community
- Accessible Education: Offering workshops, tours, and volunteer opportunities designed for residents of all ages and backgrounds, helping bridge the gap between urban living and sustainable farming.
- Community-Supported Agriculture (CSA): Providing fresh, locally grown produce and farm products directly to residents, enhancing food security and promoting healthy, seasonal eating.
- Farm Events and Markets: Hosting regular farmers markets, open farm days, and community gatherings that invite neighbors to experience the farm firsthand and build relationships.
- Collaborative Projects: Partnering with local schools, civic groups, and residential associations to develop green spaces, community gardens, and environmental stewardship initiatives.
- Sustainable Practices in Residential Areas: Sharing knowledge on composting, water conservation, native planting, and other eco-friendly practices that residents can adopt in their own yards and neighborhoods.
- Creating a Local Food Hub: Acting as a regional resource for fresh, regenerative farm products, education, and sustainable living ideas that benefit the entire community.
By integrating KABA RAFA with town and residential life, we aim to inspire a shared vision of sustainability that enriches the health of our environment, economy, and social fabric. Together, we cultivate not just crops, but a resilient and connected community.
