Hayes Valley Farm posted a "transition announcement" on its blog yesterday, confirming that the end is near for the interim-use project.

"As you may know, Hayes Valley Farm is an interim-use urban farm project. As such, our agreement with the City and County of San Francisco has been to develop the ecology and grow food on the site only until those with prior claim to the land were able to move forward with projects that have been in the works for some time. "In January, we received final word of the formal termination of our license agreement from the City and County’s Real Estate Division. On March 1st, as part of this agreement we transitioned off of the south half of the property (Parcel P). By June 1st, we plan to be off of the site completely."
The announcement goes on to mention that the Farm is looking for new parcels of land for a possible relocation. As we reported last year, plans are underway to build a 5-story, 182-unit apartment complex on the site after the farm vacates on June 1. That means there are just 75 days left until Hayes Valley Farm is no more, at least in its current form. So be sure to swing by in the next few weeks, and enjoy this unique addition to the neighborhood while you still can.
