OUR STORY
Our Founders
Judith and Chanowk run Yisrael Farms, which started as a half acre urban farm nestled in the heart of Sacramento and has now grown to multiple locations. Their farm is a sustainable community resource, a story of love, perseverance, and reverence for the earth’s rhythms.
Their neighborhood is a historically working-class area now battling food apartheid, poverty, and gentrification. It’s a familiar story for communities of color. The Yisraels decided to flip the narrative. In ten years, these city slickers transformed their yard into a half-acre farm, fed hundreds of people, taught thousands more and have found that the answers are in the soil.
