The Alameda County Fairgrounds has dedicated over 2 acres of land to The Farm.
Now, the Alameda County Fair Foundation is embarking on a capital campaign to raise the funds needed to build. Grants, industry partnerships, in-kind donations, and sponsorships will be key to the timely construction of this amazing facility.
