Born in the wake of the 1992 Los Angeles uprising, the South Central community transformed the City’s most neglected food desert area into a lush, green urban farm that fed thousands of families fresh, locally grown, and culturally diverse organic food.

The South Central Farm flourished from 1992 to 2006 as the largest urban farm in the country. It provided 14 acres of beautiful open green space tended by 350 families. The South Central Farm addressed food insecurity while also serving as a vital community space hosting cultural gatherings, festivities, sharing of knowledge, and community empowerment.

On June 13, 2006 the South Central Farm
was evicted from the farm despite a massive outpouring of support and resources to preserve the land. The struggle attained international attention and helped redefine land usage, local food production and environmental justice across the nation. The South Central Farm’s vision of providing healthy food and open green space did not end here. The South Central Farm legacy continues with the mission of promoting food justice, clean air, environmental justice and open green space for all communities. The spirit of the South Central Farm will live on forever.
