Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Farm for LA is dedicated to rescuing underutilized land in Los Angeles to be converted to the sole purpose of growing food for low-income families.

Farm for LA converts underutilized land in Los Angeles for urban farming projects where we grow food and donate to groups working with low and fixed income families. We also work with schools and camps to host educational lessons on farming 101.

Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Urban Lima Bean Farming:We host monthly volunteer days at our Urban Lima Bean Farm in Elysian Valley, LA. Volunteers, who are Angelenos interested in getting involved in farming and gardening, come and help de-weed and harvest. We grow food (predominantly Lima Beans) here and donate them in a kit form to our community and surrounding communities in need.$2,040-
Lima Bean Donation Kits:We prep Lima Bean Donation Kits with the beans grown at our urban farm by taking 1 cup of dehydrated lima beans (that double to 2 cups once rehydrated) and an English/Spanish translation cook and grow guide, in a bag and sealed with a Farm LA sticker.$90-
In 2018 we donated 100 kits total to low and fixed income families and seniors. The kit is enough to provide 1 hearty side dish to a family (but its so filling it could be a meal) and the seeds to grow their own lima bean farm. We're on track for donating 300 kits by the end of 2019!--
"Kindergardening":Jason and Emily host educational days at the farm, the schools or camps supply the food and snacks. There are no other expenses. We explain the 101's of gardening and the kids get a great idea of how easy it is to grow your own food.--
