Formed in summer 2006 as a result of a Community Needs Assessment with initial seed funding from the Hub of Petaluma Foundation, Petaluma Bounty’s mission is to create a thriving local food system with healthy food for everyone through collaboration, education and promoting self-reliance.
Most small scale farmers can’t afford to feed low-income people (since they are low-income) and most low-income consumers can’t afford to buy locally grown produce. This is a systems problem and Petaluma Bounty seeks to design community solutions. They push beyond hunger relief toward community food security (and hunger prevention) through programming that expands our community’s capacity to feed ourselves. Petaluma Bounty’s vision is to grow a thriving local food system where consumers make informed decisions; farmers make a decent living while prioritizing ecological stewardship of the land, and all people – regardless of income – have access to healthy food.

Coordinates programming that focuses on connecting clients with community-based economic opportunity resources and programming, and links clients to health care employment training and placement programs.
