Update #16: Ah the farm
Well folks we are just $399 short of our funding goal. I can't believe there is only 12 days to go. What a great summer. Envision it, plan it and then go for it! Quit your job it all works out in the end. Just kidding. :)
I'm still working out the insurance, permits and the water meter switch out. I have a feeling everything will happen in the same week and then all of a sudden we will be building our farm.
Thank you so much.
This picture is how the low land looked in 2004. Nice uh?

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.”
NEVER GIVE UP☺☺☺
