Build Resilience in West Marin
West Marin thrives when we come together to build food resilience and strengthen our food systems— gleaning surplus produce, encouraging home gardening, embracing Sembrando Vida into our community, and more.
Gleaning Network
Join the West Marin Glean Team to harvest surplus produce for local food banks and community kitchens. In partnership with ExtraFood and West Marin Food Systems, we work to reduce food waste and improve food security.
We also offer produce pick-up or volunteer harvesting services.
Expand Gardening
Growing food at home provides access to fresh produce.
Know of a potential location for a community garden in West Marin?
Or help by connecting with property owners who have suitable land and encouraging them to share it with residents who lack space.
If you’re an experienced gardener, chicken keeper, beekeeper, or food preserver interested in leading a community workshop, we’d love to hear your ideas.
Contact us to contribute or learn more.
Seed Exchanges
Organize or participate in seed and seedling exchanges to promote gardening and resource sharing. Consider holding a neighborhood exchange in spring or early fall.
Join WMCA at community events for collaborative exchanges.
Resources & Rebates
Keep organic waste out of landfills (where it emits methane) by composting at home or using green bins.
Learn about rebates for water-efficient gardening equipment and rainwater storage systems through the North Marin Water District.

Support Community Agriculture: Sembrando Vida is Sowing Life
There’s a movement in food organizations toward “culturally appropriate food” – food that folks have eaten in their countries of origin and that is central to their diet and celebrations. A group of Latinos is growing such food for our community, while fostering interdependence and setting the seed for the next generation’s awareness of food cultivation.
West Marin Climate Action was instrumental in helping to get Sembrando Vida established at Blue Marble Acres in Hick’s Valley. WMCA members continue to volunteer in the program.
