Overview
Nonprofit urban farm growing and sharing free produce, with mutual aid markets and hands-on food education programs.
Lopez Urban Farm is a 3.5-acre nonprofit in Pomona, a Community Wellness Project of Community Partners 4 Innovation, a 501(c)(3). Named for Ignacio Lopez, a civil rights pioneer who founded the Spanish-language newspaper El Espectador in 1933, the farm opened in 2020. It grows fruits and vegetables shared freely with Pomona residents, distributing over 60,000 lbs of produce to date. Visitors can self-harvest garden beds or get food and goods at on-site mutual aid markets: Bodega Comunitaria, Pomona Fridge, and Pet Pantry. It also runs youth and education programs (Jr. Farmers, Urban Chef, school field trips) and a weekly night market, El Puestecito. It partners with Pomona Unified School District, Cal Poly Pomona, Pitzer College, and Western University of Health Sciences. Learn more on their About Page.
Lopez Urban Farm operates on an alternative economy model described as "take what you need, pay what you can," with no barriers to access for its mutual aid markets. The farm's produce is grown on-site and distributed at no cost to community members. Partner programs on the farm include Indigeknowledge, which focuses on indigenous seed saving, native gardening, and traditional ecological knowledge, and the Alkebulan African Diasporic Garden, which practices African diasporic agriculture and cultural land stewardship. The Urban Butterfly Garden maintains pollinator habitat on the grounds. A resident partner program, Jam-A-Lot, produces farm-fresh preserves and pickles. Athens Services provides free community compost to support the farm's growing operations.
