Who We Are
Huarache Farms is a cooperative of local urban growers with locations in Pasadena, Altadena, and 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 farmer’s markets, local restaurants, and our surrounding communities from our own backyards.
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 are building weapons of mass creation.”
— michael wood, FOUNDER
Our Veganic Methods
At Huarache Farms, we utilize hydroponics, water gardens, wicking soil beds, vertical tower gardens, and food forestry to grow food on a backyard scale.
Our farms emphasize a thoughtful approach to growing fruits and vegetables that are even higher standards than “organic” gardening. We call our methods “veganic” and see it as more sustainable, healthy, and safe for our customers.
