Our vision

Orcas Community Participatory Agriculture (OCPA) is a locally-based model of agriculture, education, and food distribution. Our purpose is to empower people to be creators of the food that nourishes them, in solidarity with the food sovereignty movement. Most importantly, we focus on building community — we are actively working, learning, re-skilling, and reaping rewards as a group.

“I am very grateful to be part of the OCPA community. Learning about growing food, working with good-spirited others, deepening my relationship with the earth, these are precious gifts in precarious times. “
