LA's South Central Farm

Here are some great photos of an amazing project going on in LA.



It is a farm right in the middle of South Central LA, in the warehouse district. It is maintained by mostly South and Central American immigrant families, and they use food from the garden plots to feed themselves.



Unfortunately, the city of LA is considering selling the land to developers to make room for more warehouses. That probably won't happen because there is a lot of support for the farm.



It's the largest urban farm in the U.S. and feeds 350 families in the area.



It was really cool to walk around the perimeter and see all of the things growing. Like bananas. and Cacti.



There was an interesting sign on the inside that said something about the importance of urban farmers naturalizing cities which they don't necessarily have the option of leaving. It was inspiring to see.
