BREAKING NEWS ON THE SOUTH CENTRAL FARM!

On the eve of the groundbreaking for our donated land in Buttonwillow,  and the 4th anniversary of losing our South Central Farm, a for-sale sign has gone up at 4st and Alameda!

The asking price - $16 million. So we are once again forced to raise enormous funds! We remain undaunted. We know we can do it. But only with your help and support...

Help us get this lot, still barren from being bulldozed, and regrow the largest urban farm in the country!


Every donation brings us closer to success!

Two Farms One Mission

The Buttonwillow and South Central Farms are intricately linked in our mission to a more holistic and equitable food system. And,  to creating independent and  autonomous communities through sustainable jobs.

 

What made the South Central Farm so meaningful was its ability to build community out of diversity.


Now we are expanding that spirit to the Central valley. We hope more areas will join us as we work to benefit the general community, society,  and environment.


The Farm Project

Over the last seven months, through a web of support and an amazing show of generosity, a myriad of local and national businesses have donated materials and labor in excess of $150,000 to rebuild the existing defunct well and make it viable for farming.


The Well Project has made real the South Central Farmers' dream to farm their own land, organically and sustainably, now and for generations of farmers to come.

The Garden.  From the ashes of the L.A. riots, the South Central Farmers have nurtured the nation’s largest urban farm.  Since 1992, they have created a miracle in one of the country’s most blighted neighborhoods. Growing their own food. Feeding their families. Creating community.  But now, bulldozers are poised to level their 14-acre oasis.

About the film
The Garden 
is the unflinching look at the struggle between urban farmers and the City of Los Angeles and a powerful developer who wants to evict them and build warehouses.  Mostly immigrants from Latin American countries where they feared for their lives if they were to speak out, we watch them organize, fight back, and demand, “Where is our ‘Justice for all’?”

 

If everyone told you nothing more could be done, would you give up?

 

* * *
The Garden has the pulse of verité with the narrative pull of fiction, telling the story of the country’s largest urban farm, backroom deals, land developers, green politics, money, poverty, power, and racial discord. The film explores and exposes the fault lines in American society and raises crucial and challenging questions about liberty, equality, and justice for the poorest and most vulnerable among us.
