Helping to make nutritious foods accessible to all of our neighbors in Los Angeles.
Since 2018, we’ve been building soil through regenerative farming practices. Focusing on soil health through permanent root systems, diversity of crops, and balanced soil chemistry. Taking inspiration from historical hillside farmers, we’re building a system of multistrata agroforestry — also known as a food forest — a mix of trees and perennial shrubs to stabilize the hillside.
