Safeway Barn
The Alameda County Fairgrounds has dedicated over 2 acres of land to The Farm with Phase 1, the Safeway Barn, completed and opened during the 2025 Fair. This state-of-the-art facility marked the beginning of a new era in agricultural education at the Fairgrounds.
Now, the Alameda County Fair Foundation is preparing for Phase 2, coming soon. To bring this next chapter to life, we are raising capital funds, with major gifts, sponsorships, and in-kind donations playing a vital role in the continued progress of this landmark project.
