Organizer of My Hive Swarmed! Now What?
BioFuel Oasis is a worker-owned cooperative that is a biodiesel station and urban farm store.
We teach classes on urban farming, including beekeeping, backyard chickens, herbal medicine, mead-making, fermentation, and more. We believe in divesting from large corporate systems of food, agriculture, and energy, and strive to invest in local, sustainable practices of living by connecting local instructors to you and building self-sufficiency in our community.
Our store is located at 1441 Ashby Ave., in Berkeley, CA - stop by to chat with one of the worker owners, to fill up your diesel car with our recycled veggie oil biodiesel, or to pick up your urban farm supplies!
