Certified Farmers' Market Manager, Saoirse says it best, "I'm connected to my community. I get to know the people who grow my food, and I get to know the people who live and work around me...and that is so important."

At Alchemist CDC, we believe farmers' markets play a vital role in food access, neighborhood and cultural identity, and economic development. We're proud to operate six certified farmers' markets throughout Sacramento County.

Thank you to Covered California Executive Team for celebrating Big Day of Giving with us at the Oak Park Art Garden this morning!

We are thrilled to be working with local artist Leon Willis on an 80 foot mural as part of our long-awaited updates to this beloved, central Oak Park corner.

Today's volunteers helped prep the mural for Saturday's Community Mural Paint Day and brought the BDOG spirit with them!

Tomorrow is the Big Day of Giving! Become an early donor now to help us meet our goal at https://www.bigdayofgiving.org/organization/AlchemistCDC

Alchemist Community Development Corporation is grassroots in the truest sense, so we depend on donors just like you to help us serve our community. For 22 years, we have planted ourselves in Sacramento's most under-served communities, because we believe that food is essential to creating equity and community. Today those roots reach far into Sacramento’s neighborhoods with diverse programs. From farmers' markets to shared kitchens, food entrepreneurs creating their businesses, families getting groceries where the system falls short, and neighbors turning empty lots into gathering places.

Thanks to Tri Counties Bank, every dollar you donate through Big Day of Giving does double the work!

Construction starts at the Oak Park Art Garden today! We know so many care about this space as much as we do and are eager for updates, so we are sharing a few now:

1. A year after submitting for our building permit, we received it last week and had our initial City on-site inspection last Friday (3/27).
2. Yesterday (4/1) we brought together the various project leads, landscape architect Atlas Lab, Inc, and construction contractors for our first on-site coordination meeting.
3. Today (4/2) the public art pieces currently on-site (with the exception of the painted fence panels) are being removed to storage temporarily, to keep them safe until they are re-installed in the NEW Oak Park Art Garden.
4. The existing painted fence panels will not be able to remain at the Oak Park Art Garden. On May 9, during our Community Mural Paint Day (where you’re invited to help us paint a HUGE mural on the new back fence - more to come on that soon…), community members will be invited to take home sections of those low painted fences. If there is artwork from you or a loved one (or just a bit of art that is meaningful to you and otherwise unclaimed), please mark your calendar for May 9 to bring it home. We will not be able to hold or reserve panels.
When we install new low fence panels, they will be painted anew each year by students from nearby schools as a rotating community art experience.

There will be many more updates in the weeks and months ahead! We appreciate your patience and can’t wait to invite you back to the Oak Park Art Garden soon!
