The extended farm operated by the South Central Farmers’ Cooperative in Bakersfield, CA is about small-scale farmers bringing high quality organic produce that’s affordable and accessible to our communities. From the moment a tiny seed is sowed in the fields to long days of hard labor we don’t stop thinking about the health of all children and families who deserve to eat farm fresh organic produce. That’s the legacy behind the South Central Farmers’ Cooperative. As ordinary people who started growing food in South Central LA out of a real need to feeding families we came to share a collective vision of creating an equitable food system that addresses community’s food security, health, culturally specific food needs of diverse populations, promoting sustainable farming practices and cultivating a new generation of urban farmers. As a result, we were able to establish LA’s most successful Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) program with over 3,000 participants, 28 drop off sites and 13 farmers market stands to date. However, we still see serious disparities in our communities’ access to affordable organic foods, so we invite all of you to join the growing movement of concerned families working towards bringing healthy changes to the current food system.
