Experience Regeneration in Action: Bioneers Pre-Conference Tour 2025
Urban Foodscape Tour:
Innovators Nourishing the East Bay
This year, we had the opportunity to host the East Bay Urban Foodscape Tour in partnership with the Bioneers Conference—an unforgettable journey through some of the most inspiring food justice and sustainability initiatives in the Bay Area! It was a full day of discovery, connection and access to groundbreaking urban farms & social enterprises.
The tour price included round-trip transportation from the Residence Inn Berkeley, expert guides for the day, knowledgeable speakers, and a delicious lunch.
🌱 Tour Stops and Highlights:
🔹 Planting Justice Mother Farm – Explore a thriving ecosystem where formerly incarcerated individuals gain the skills to cultivate food sovereignty, economic justice, and healing.
🔹 Urban Adamah – Immerse yourself in a vibrant farm-based community weaving together Jewish tradition, mindfulness, and sustainable agriculture to create a more just and connected world.
🔹 UC Gill Tract Community Farm – Witness a pioneering model of urban farming that is redefining food justice, research, and equitable food distribution.
🔹 Sogorea Te’ Land Trust – Experience the incredible work of this Indigenous women-led land trust as they restore Indigenous land and stewardship practices.
🌱 This was more than a tour—it was an opportunity to nourish our hearts, expand our vision, and bear witness to the long-haul work of transformation. At Bay Area Green Tours, we take you beyond conversation and into the heart of real-world solutions.
