Who We Are
Huarache Farms is a local urban farm in Sierra Madre. Our mission is to support local and sustainable urban agriculture and to serve as a community development resource.
We’re a diverse group of city dwellers, bringing fresh produce to the Atwater Village Farmers Market from our own backyard.
Our mission is to create a culture around small-scale gardening and cooking that transforms the political and physical landscape of Los Angeles into one of beauty and resiliency.
“We focus on growing food for people directly”
— michael wood, FOUNDER
Our Veganic Methods
At Huarache Farms, we utilize hydroponics, water gardens, wicking soil beds, sprouting systems, and vertical tower gardens to grow food on a backyard scale.
Our farms emphasize a thoughtful approach to growing fruits and vegetables that focus on growing speciality crops without a need for animals or their manure. We call our methods “veganic” and see it as more sustainable and healthier approach to the future of food.
Purchase Our Produce
Atwater Village Farmers’ Market
Come and find us at the market every Sunday from 9am-2pm. The market is located in the public parking lot, behind the shops on the south side of Glendale Blvd., between Larga and Garden Avenues. The address is 3528 Larga Ave., Los Angeles, 90039
Join Our Backyard Collective
Over the years, we’ve made friends who have helped us to expand our backyard operations. They helped us build and manage a custom online CSA (community supported agriculture) which supports multiple local food makers and backyard farms in Los Angeles, though currently we just sell at the farmers market. If you’re looking to start a CSA in your neighborhood and want an online platform that helps with orders and delivery, check out www.simie.co
