Campaign for

the center for food and agriculture

Bringing food, farm, and communities forward.

Growing a permanent home for our farmers markets and mission is at the heart of our future. We're building a Center for Food and Agriculture, the first of its kind, combining a permanent, open-air, minimal waste farmers market with a learning center serving the unique needs of both producers and eaters.

Built on a 4 acre site at the historic Marin County Civic Center campus designed by Frank Lloyd Wright, the CFA will feature a permanent farmers market, a state-of-the-art learning center, and the headquarters for our organization to deepen our impact across California.

Join in and support the future of AIM.

Make a Legacy Gift

You can make a lasting impact by designating a gift to AIM as part of your estate plan — including gifts that cost nothing to make now, gifts that pay income, gifts that reduce taxes, and gifts that benefit heirs, along with opportunities for naming recognition.
