Petaluma Bounty is at a crossroads. To continue operating our beloved community farm, we need to raise at least $100,000 to cover farm and program expenses for 2026. 

Here are ways to contribute. Any amount will be appreciated!

Why We Need to Fundraise Right Now

Petaluma Bounty began as a grassroots response to a 2004 community needs assessment that revealed a painful truth — many seniors, families with young children, and individuals across Petaluma were struggling to access healthy, affordable food.

In 2008, the Bounty Community Farm was born, and an urban lot was transformed into a vibrant hub for healthy, local food, education, volunteerism, and connection. From 2012 through October 2025, Petaluma Bounty operated under the umbrella of the Petaluma People Services Center (PPSC), a nonprofit improving the social and economic well-being of our community.

Today, we’re entering a new chapter. Since November 1, 2025, Petaluma Bounty is operating as a fiscally sponsored program of San Antonio Valley Ranch, the agricultural arm of the Eames Institute, a 501(c)(3) public charity. This short-term sponsorship provides the stability we need to strengthen our foundation and plan for the future.

We’re deeply grateful to Stony Acres, LLC, who has generously allowed us to remain on their land through a temporary agreement.

Together, these arrangements give us a six-month window to secure our future.

For two decades, Petaluma Bounty has worked toward one simple but fundamental mission: 

Healthy food for everyone through collaboration, education, and promoting self-reliance.

To continue our mission, your support is critical. Your donation today ensures that we can continue to grow food for neighbors in need and continue our programs to support community food security.

If we do not reach the $100,000  milestone, the farm will unfortunately have to close and funds will be directed to off-farm programming such as Bounty Hunters Gleaning, Community Gardens, and Healthy Affordable Local Food Incentives.

We are deeply thankful to San Antonio Valley Ranch and the Eames Institute for giving us this bridge to the future, and to Stony Acres, LLC for their continued trust and generosity.

With your help, we can continue cultivating a healthier, more connected Petaluma — together.

With gratitude,

Petaluma Bounty
