About Us

Founded in 2010, the Berkeley Basket CSA is a cooperatively run, community-driven urban farm on occupied Ohlone Terriorty (Berkeley, CA). Berkeley Basket is currently managed by two farmers, Moretta Browne (any pronouns) and Marianne Olney-Hamel (they/them.) Moretta and Marianne grow annual vegetables using organic and ecological practices in 3 residential backyards in Berkeley. Thanks to the generous support of the homeowners who host the project, Berkeley Basket supplies 21 CSA members with vegetables and sometimes fruit, flowers and value-added products for 32 weeks of the year, from late March til the beginning of November.
