We're raising funds for our new 5-acre urban farm at The Growing Experience, and we need your support to make it happen. This isn't just about growing food; it's about growing opportunity and saving small farms in the face of a changing climate.

Our new farm will serve as a living classroom, providing vital Agricultural Education and Vocational Training for young adults with disabilities and transition-age foster youth. In a world where food access is a growing concern, we're empowering the next generation of leaders to create a more just and sustainable food system. They'll learn everything from organic crop production to small-scale farming and nursery management, gaining the skills they need to thrive.


Plant a Seed, Grow a Leader

Your contribution helps us put the power back in the hands of the community. By supporting our new farm, you're directly helping us:

  • Fight for food equity: We provide affordable access to fresh, organic produce in neighborhoods that need it most.

  • Empower young entrepreneurs: Our programs give youth the tools to become leaders in a sustainable food system.

  • Strengthen our community: We're connecting urban communities to the source of their food through resources, education, farm stands, and local markets.

Join us in cultivating change. Your gift today will help us plant the seeds of a healthier, more equitable future for Long Beach—one where young people and fresh food are at the heart of our community.
