THE ECOLOGY CENTER BEGINS TRANSITION WITH SOUTH COAST FARMS

The Ecology Center officially began consolidating with South Coast Farms increasing the non-profit organization’s footprint by 27 acres.

To offer more opportunities for visitors to meaningfully support their community, The Ecology Center will design, curate and stock the new Farm Store to reflect the local community and region. This redesign will happen in phases over the next year. The goal of the Farm Store is to empower the local economy, with an emphasis on providing access to hyper-local products and fresh fruits and vegetables.  

As The Ecology Center begins the Farm Store transformation, changes will include diverse offerings curated to celebrate the local food community. This includes more dry goods offered year round like local grains and legumes, artisan products like local honey and jam, and organic bread from Rye Goods on the weekends. The Farm Store will continue to offer organic produce sourced from local farmers within 250 miles, and visitors will still be able to enjoy u-pick days when strawberries are fresh and in-season.

The Ecology Center is at 32701 Alipaz St, San Juan Capistrano. 949.443.4223.
