Together, these farms generated over 36,000 lbs of food which was given away to people experiencing food insecurity through a network of community partnerships. We assembled a data science team to start capturing our data on food production, labor hours, soil quality, water quality, biodiversity and impact of food production and delivery on farmers and community members. The organization also started our job training program with a 10 week fellowship, offering Urban Youth opportunities to learn about agroecology and traditional ecological knowledge. Our educational programs also involved bringing pediatrics medical residents to the farm to learn about food as medicine and farming techniques that increase the nutritious quality of food. We repaired the 6000 square foot flooring of our barn in order to safely host activities and farm equipment. The organization invested in extensive earthworks with more swales to slow and sink water, which greatly impacted our farm's success during heavy rains--we experienced no flooding. We convened 60 area artists, activists and teachers to understand the impact of our food growing and to start the storytelling work of the organization. We convened advisors and decided to develop a new program to bridge Indigenous and non-Indigenous relationships. Finally, we implemented our Heal the Healers Program, bringing frontline healthcare workers to the farm to address pandemic trauma and burnout through gentle gardening activities and storytelling circles. 955653 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 24 0 true 19 true false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false X 4 2 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false CA X Bookr Inc 9253814221 2099 Mt Diablo Blvd 201 Walnut Creek CA 94596 Rupa Marya President 40.00 0.00 X 69167 0 0 Walter Riley Secretary 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Raj Patel Treasurer 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 Valerie Segrest Secretary 0.50 0.00 X 0 0 0 69167 0 false false false 0 25000 1609031 1634031 Fees For Service 110000 46380 46380 46380 751 751 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1681162 47131 X 0 0 0 0 69167 69167 0 522979 438402 84577 7990 7990 0 49417 49417 0 0 23799 23799 0 0 0 110236 108636 1600 4635 4635 21111 21111 4362 4362 0 25812 25812 34875 34875 0 0 0 0 85156 85156 93351 93351 Charitable Donations 72000 72000 Tools 51861 51861 Plants, Trees, Seeds 43346 43346 Utilities 24989 24989 158076 105451 47865 4760 1403162 955653 442749 4760 659761 532287 0 0 2083 0 0 282 0 4000 4000 605359 90822 119775 514537 0 0 0 0 8849 51284 792385 1104473 34084 4 0 34088 X 752885 1070385 39500 792385 1070385 792385 1104473 278000 X false false false X 1167137 1634030 2801167 0 0 1167137 1634030 2801167 0 2801167 304 751 1055 0 0 2802222 X 0.00000 RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 94079 2723 91356 187854 52057 135797 270130 32557 237573 53296 3485 49811 514537 Rounding 4 4 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b A draft copy of the form 990 was provided to all board members for review and comment.

Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 12c We keep track of all organizations and businesses in which directors, officers, and staff members have an interest. When directors, officers, or staff are contemplating a transaction with an interested person, or with an entity that they are members or owners of, we carefully follow the procedures in our conflict of interest policy, which includes deliberating about the matter, exploring alternatives, and voting on the matter without the interested party present. Conflicts of interest are generally identified and reviewed by the Board, however, an independent team of staff members also reviews conflicts of interest that arise at the staff level.
