UC Small Farms Network

Supporting small farms to thrive through research, education and technical assistance

University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Small Farms Advisors and program staff serve as an information hub connecting small-scale farms to research and education resources of the University of California. We are a program within the UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (UC SAREP).

We serve a diverse clientele including:

• Small-scale and diversified family farms
• Beginning, immigrant, and refugee farmers
• Growers of specialty crops not covered by traditional commodity-based extension programs

To keep in touch digitally, subscribe to the UC Small Farms blog for updates on new resources and upcoming events or follow the Small Farms Network on Instagram. Or, connect directly with our advisors and staff located in seven regional hubs throughout California.

The UC Small Farms Network is a statewide program of the University of California Agriculture and Natural Resources (UC ANR), integrated within the UC Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education Program (UC SAREP).
