About the Black Urban Farmers Association
The Black Urban Farmers Association (BUFA) is a Stockton-based nonprofit increasing access to pesticide-free, locally grown produce in underserved communities while promoting plant-based nutrition, cultural food traditions, and community wellness. Founded in 2015, BUFA operates a regenerative farm and CSA program delivering weekly produce boxes, with crop selection reflecting the culinary heritage of African American and broader BIPOC communities. Beyond food production, BUFA runs education and wellness programming for youth and seniors, and is working toward a permanent, expanded farm and community wellness center in Stockton.
