Oak Park Eggery is a small-scale urban farm feeding Sacramento’s most vulnerable at their doorstep. Located in the heart of one of the city’s neediest food deserts, the project provides eggs and produce from directly within the community for free.

The program’s unique eco-centric model up-cycles food wast from kitchen scraps donated by the community and converts them into eggs which go directly back into the community. The excess food scarps and chicken manure go into the adjacent community garden which provides more food for the community and more scraps for the chickens and compost, leading to a continuous virtuous cycle.
