Southern California used to be full of little farms. Urban development closed many but some survive. Here's where to buy produce where it was grown within L.A. and two hours away.
As you enter this 3-acre “pay-what-you-can, take-what-you-need” farm in Pomona, you’ll notice crochet flowers adding life to the chainlink fence surrounding the entrance. Graffiti-style art covers containers and trucks — with the words “Lopez Urban Farms” painted between cartoon elephants, mushrooms and flowers.
Torres also recalls getting shoes from the farm’s Bodega Comunitaria, which is a mutual aid market housed inside a shipping container and entirely based on donations, usually offering clothing, toiletries, hygiene products and books, and is open daily between 6 to 8 p.m. On Wednesday evenings, El Puestecito, a night market farm stand, is open from 6 to 8 p.m., and the Evergreen Equal Access Market is open every Tuesday from 8 to 10:30 a.m.
