South Central Farmers
Over 10 years of growing and delivering organic vegetable boxes from our 85-acre farm in Buttonwillow and our 14-acre farm in Lake Hughes to the Greater Los Angeles Area.
The South Central Farmers’ Cooperative (SCFC) is a grassroots economic development of the South Central Farmers’ Health and Education Fund, a 501c(3) public benefit organization, that is committed to engaging and empowering community members around attaining food sovereignty and access to high quality organic produce.
Community members from Los Angeles, travel to the Bakersfield farm each week to plant, clean, and harvest the produce.
What We Do
All produce is grown and harvested on land that is currently leased by SCFC located in Bakersfield & Lake Hughes, California.
We have different sizes of CSA boxes available for various appetites, from individuals to families.
Every CSA box contains anywhere from 6-10 different types or vegetables, herbs, and at times even fruits!

What is CSA?
Community supported agriculture (CSA) is a new idea in farming, one that has been gaining momentum since its introduction to the United States from Europe in the mid-1980s. The CSA concept originated in the 1960s in Switzerland and Japan, where consumers interested in safe food and farmers seeking stable markets for their crops joined together in economic partnerships. Today, CSA farms in the U.S., known as CSAs, currently number more than 400. Most are located near urban centers in New England, the Mid-Atlantic states, and the Great Lakes region, with growing numbers in other areas, including the West Coast.
