The Ranch is committed to demonstrating and promoting systems that encourage food and environmental justice. At The Ranch\, community members grow a variety of herbs and vegetables as well as fruiting and nut trees\, shrubs and vines. They also demonstrate a form of bioremediation using mushroom mycelium and build the Ranch’s infrastructure with mostly found and refurbished materials. The Ranch’s guerrilla garden beginnings are rooted in an alternative cooperation form of direct action\, as such we support the reclaiming of the commons and full transition to a more equitable society\, starting exactly where we are. \n
