2.3 acres available at City Gardens of SLO!

Central Coast Grown

Central Coast Grown (CCG) would like to announce a Request for Proposals (RFP) for two and one third (2.3) acres of the City Farm–San Luis Obispo available for ground lease beginning immediately. 
This irrigated Class One and Class Two farmland is located within the city of San Luis Obispo, California and includes a large hoop house. This farm is intended for row crops with the possibility for perennial plantings and animal husbandry. The property has been cover cropped and farmed without chemical additives for the last four years. The amount of acreage and length of the lease are negotiable. 

This property is part of the Calle Joaquin Agricultural Reserve Open Space owned by the City of San Luis Obispo. CCG has secured the master lease agreement for this site and manages all relations with the city. Consequently, the lease agreement for this farmland will exist solely between the farmer and CCG. 
The Reserve is intended for both agricultural production and education and therefore the public will occasionally be on portions of the Reserve adjacent to this farmland.
