Veggielution

About the Project

The Open Space Authority helped fund Veggielution’s 18-month land use planning process in partnership with the City of San José Parks, Recreation & Neighborhood Services to develop a comprehensive vision for Veggielution’s six-acre community farm at Emma Prusch Farm Park in context with its historic location, natural and urban resources, and aspirations of our local community. This land use plan will guide Veggielution’s use and development of the land over a 15-year or more time period. A variety of unique urban agriculture and open space opportunities will be explored through the planning process, including educational signage and wayfinding, commercial kitchen space, art installations and green technology such as rainwater capture, flood protection and solar installation.

"Our existing community has shared how they feel about the work we are doing, but we need to connect with people who haven’t come out yet to see what they want and need."
