Acorns have not been readily available as a food source for over 100 years.

The Alameda Native History Project seeks to reopen the local indigenous foodways of Alameda and the East Bay.

The acorns we harvest together will be used to fill the Acorn Granary at the Alameda Point Collaborative Farm2Market.

They will stay in the granary over winter. And we will process the acorns in spring.

Some of the Acorn Flour and Acorn Meal which we will produce will be used as the featured ingredient of our culinary series. Some will be offered to local Native American Organizations and Tribes. A limited amount Acorn Flour and Acorn Meal will be offered to the public for fundraising.

By supporting this project, you are helping to revive a forgotten food source and reconnect with the rich cultural heritage of our region. Together, we can reclaim the acorn as a symbol of community, sustainability, and cultural resilience. Join us in this effort to rebuild our local indigenous foodways and create a more equitable and sustainable food system for all.
