Overview
Urban farm growing vegetables, fruit, and duck eggs in the heart of the San Fernando Valley
Cottonwood Urban Farm is an urban farm in Panorama City founded in 2011 by Elliott Kuhn on a formerly vacant plot of land. Over more than a decade of cultivation, the farm has developed a diverse ecology of vegetables, herbs, perennial plants, and a mixed orchard producing stone fruit, bananas, mulberries, and pomegranates across much of the year. The farm also raises ducks and sells eggs on-site. Beyond growing food, Cottonwood offers field trips, hands-on workshops, farm rentals, educational programs for all ages, and seasonal orchard pruning and consultation services. It is also a hub for on-site partners Black Thumb Farm and Behind the Beet, each running their own programming from the grounds. Learn more on their About Page.
Cottonwood Urban Farm has been a partner of LA Compost since 2017 and operates one of their largest regional composting hubs in the San Fernando Valley, with a 24/7 food scrap drop-off available to the public. On-site partner Black Thumb Farm practices what it describes as closed-loop, long-term soil health methods: composting for nutrient-rich soil, cover cropping, mulching for moisture retention during warm seasons, and a no-till approach that builds on top of existing soil rather than disturbing its fungi, bacteria, and invertebrate life. Cottonwood's own stated approach centers on earth-friendly farming methods, recycling materials on-site, and growing in harmony with the interconnected ecology of the farm's grounds.
