      I spent some time yesterday with Sasha walking the F59 site and talking about future plans. This woman's got some vision people! Let's keep supporting her!

      Hej Sacha,

      What a wonderful project! I'm writing from Denmark and as a backer of this project I suddenly feel like I am a citizen of the world! Best of luck to you.

      Hi, I'm backer #88, from Blacksburg, VA., where I have my own garden. I'm too far across the country for veggie boxes, but it will be fun to have my name on a recycled brick built into something cool. :)

      All the Best, Peg

Connected as Sasha Kanno (608 friends)

Sasha Kanno is a floral designer by trade but has also been a backyard farmer since childhood. She is the Director of Wrigley Garden; a community garden started in the spring of 2009 with its 40 plots, 14 hens and a small orchard she has fed many hungry mouths. She is also one of the founders of the Wrigley co‐op food exchange which harvests, shares and preserves the excess produce from our city.
Farm Lot 59, a biointensive mini farm is a new venture but she is dedicated to its success: “I am already growing amazing food and this farm will help me take it to the next level. This is the direct connection to the food that nourishes us all throughout our lives. Long Beach use to be full of agriculture, let's get back to our roots. Our children should be able to have wonderfully fresh food while growing up in the city.”
