Farm Fresh Choice is the Ecology Center's food justice program that engages low-income residents of south and west Berkeley in reclaiming their optimal health through youth empowerment, nutrition education and community outreach that reaffirms our collective ancestral wisdom and our relationship to nourishing foods. The program makes fresh, organic, regionally grown, and culturally appropriate foods convenient for purchase at after school programs through partnerships with local farmers that reflect our communities of color.

Adult mentors and teen leaders facilitate peer-education workshops that raise critical health awareness and teach holistic wellness that builds off of our sacred food cultures.

Selección Fresca de la Granja (FARM FRESH CHOICE) es el programa de Justicia Alimenticia del Centro de Ecologia, que responde a las inequidades y disparidades acerca de la salud en las comunidades de bajos ingresos Latinos y Afro-Americanos en Berkeley. Trabajamos para retomar nuestra salud optima por medio del empoderamiento juvenil, aprendizaje de nutrición holística y educación que afirma nuestra sabiduría ancestral y relación sagrada con la tierra. (o sagradas costumbres de alimentación)

Instructores y lideres adolescentes facilitan talleres que aumentan la consciencia acerca de las verdades escondidas que afectan nuestra salud, y enseñan como nutrirnos de la manera mas practica y justa para nuestra comunidad.
