Office of Public Affairs

The Abundant Table is a grassroots, nonprofit organization that seeks to change lives and systems by creating sustainable relationships to the land and local community. Our 5-acre farm in Santa Paula, CA is the land that supports our farm-to-school, agricultural and nutrition education, youth development and faith-rooted initiatives. Proceeds from our community supported agriculture (CSA) vegetable sales support this valued community work. We invite you to join in The Abundant Table’s mission and connect land, spirituality and community.

On Thursday, June 30, Thursdays at 2 will feature The Abundant Table whose mission is to connect the land with spirituality and community in the Diocese of Los Angeles.
