Program Services

DescriptionGrantsExpenses
Farm For LA's main programs are: Urban Farming and Lima Bean Donation Kits distribution. We've prepared over 150 Lima Bean kits this year for donation. There is no revenue involved in any of our programs. Urban Farming:We host monthly volunteer days at our Urban Lima Bean & Sweet Potato Farm in Elysian Valley, LA. Volunteers, who are Angelenos interested in getting involved in farming and gardening, come and help maintain, harvest and prep donation kits. We grow food(predominantly Lima Beans, Sweet Potatoes and squashes; focusing on drought-tolerantveggies)here and donate them to our community and surrounding communities in need.-$2,160
Lima Bean Donation Kits:We prep Lima Bean Donation Kits with the beans grown at our urban farm. The kit instructs families how to use the 1 cup of dehydrated lima beans (that triple to 3 cups generally once rehydrated) with an English/Spanish translation cookbook and grow guide, in a bag and sealed with a Farm LA sticker.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 donated 300 kits that went to 300 families in 2021.-$240
