Dear Neighbors,
As many members of our community are recovering from the Mountain Fire we have an opportunity to help a local farm that makes a big impact on the lives of many community members. You’re invited to help Mulberry Lane Farm with a Holiday Wreath-Making Workshop!
Come and join my office and community members throughout the county in supporting Mulberry Lane Farm and its inspiring mission. This small farm in Somis is home to The Upside of Downs, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering adults with special needs in our community.
Through their Up on the Farm day program, participants engage in hands-on, hearts-in agricultural learning. They gain new skills, practice old-fashioned farming methods, and build meaningful connections with nature and one another—all while accompanied by caregivers, parents or job coaches. This incredible program, offered at no cost, provides a space for special needs adults to thrive and contribute in a way that uplifts our entire community.
Unfortunately, much of Mulberry Lane Farm was lost in the Mountain Fire on November 6th. While they rebuild, let’s come together to support their mission and make a difference.
Here’s how you can help:
??? Create holiday wreaths using dried persimmons, oranges, and greenery!
? Enjoy hot chocolate and meet new neighbors.
? Kids are welcome! We’ll have a holiday card-making station to thank the firefighters who bravely protected lives and properties during the fire.
? All funds raised will go directly to Mulberry Lane Farm to help them restore their farm and continue their life-changing programs.
When: Saturday, December 14th, 10 AM – Noon
Where: Ventura County Community Foundation
4001 Mission Oaks Blvd., Camarillo, CA 93012
Thank you to VCCF for sponsoring this event and donating the space so all proceeds can benefit the farm.
