Welcome!!!!

The Agriculture and Land-Based Training
Association (ALBA) provides educational and business
opportunities for farm workers and aspiring farmers to grow
and sell crops grown on two organic farms in Monterey
County, California.
Our mission is to advance economic
viability, social equity and ecological land management
among limited-resource and aspiring farmers. We work to
create opportunities for family farms while providing
education and demonstration on conservation, habitat
restoration, and whole farm planning.

ALBA wants to thank all who made possible the success of the
past benefit event, “an evening with Jim Hightower” at the
Capitola Book Café. The great attendance and all the
interest showed by people inspires our mission to advance
economic viability, social equity and ecological land management
among limited-resource and aspiring farmers. We work to create
opportunities for family farms while providing education and
demonstration on conservation, habitat restoration, and whole
farm planning.
Our special thanks to Jim Hightower, for such as inspirational
and relevant words, we appreciated for taking the time and be
with us that day; to Barbara Meister, for instigating and
promoting the event, to Capitola Book Café for opening your
doors to our cause; to Café Cruz for preparing wonderful
appetizers made with fresh produce from farmers at ALBA; to
Zayante Vineyard, for complementing the food with delicious
wines; and again to all the attendees and donors that make an
immense difference supporting ALBA’s work.
