Soil Born Farms is a non‑profit, organic, and regenerative farm dedicated to environmental stewardship, community health, and experiential education. Located on the historic American River Ranch in Rancho Cordova, our mission is to create an urban agriculture and education project that empowers youth and adults to discover and participate in a local food system. This year, we are expanding our impact with the completion of a new animal barn facility.

This milestone enables us to reintroduce livestock to the farm and establish a dedicated space to house Future Farmers of America (FFA) student projects.
