The Ecology Center is a [[berkeley|Berkeley]] nonprofit founded 1969 — one of the longest-running environmental organizations in the U.S. The org operates the [[ecology-center-farmers-market|Berkeley Farmers’ Markets]] (since 1987), three weekly producer-only markets across Berkeley featuring small-scale sustainable California growers. The markets are zero-waste (no plastic, no Styrofoam) and accept CalFresh EBT with a dollar-for-dollar Market Match up to $15 per visit.

The Ecology Center’s broader programs include EcoHouse (a demonstration garden and education site), [[farm-fresh|Farm Fresh]] Choice (a food-justice program getting [[fresh-produce|fresh produce]] into low-income Berkeley schools and corner stores), and the original Berkeley curbside recycling program (which the city later took over). The org’s continuous 56-year operation makes it one of the foundational environmental institutions of the Bay Area.
