About Us

The Small Farm Center closed its doors in early 2010, but the Small Farm Program continues to function. Program staff now work from offices within the Agricultural and Resource Economics Department (ARE), located within the Social Sciences and Humanities Building (SS&H) on the UC Davis campus, and the Small Farm Advisors continue to work from their county-based UC Cooperative Extension offices located in: Santa Clara, Fresno, Santa Barbara, Yolo and San Diego counties.
