PLAY ·2025 Grants ChallengeGreen Space, Food Sovereignty, Youth Development: Lopez Urban Farm
Lopez Urban Farm is an innovative community resource in Pomona with room to grow. On 3 acres, we farm and distribute over 100,000 lbs of food to our neighbors in need, and provide culturally-affirming programs and eco-education to thousands of people each year. With the addition of a paid farmer and an admin assistant/events coordinator, we can expand onto another ½ acre of land; producing another 50,000 lbs of food, expanded STEAM education to students and their families at Lopez Elementary School, and needed green space to our neighbors.
LIVE ·2024 Grants ChallengeProduce Powerhouse - a collaborative food hub empowering local farmers
The Lopez Urban Farm "Produce Powerhouse" empowers local farmers and creators with tools for processing fruits and vegetables through the addition of a central kitchen and processing hub to the 3 acre farm. This collaborative hub breaks barriers, offers workshops, and fosters entrepreneurship. With the addition of a Red Earth Oven, it enhances culinary skills, preserves culture, and boosts economic opportunities for Native communities. This initiative also bolsters food security and backs the local distribution of 200,000 lbs of food per year.
