TROPICAL SUBCLIMATE

California grows 50% of the nation’s fruits, vegetables and nuts. But transporting fresh produce

even from Central California to Los Angeles just adds to traffic congestion and uses natural resources.

The California drought encouraged homeowners to replace lawns with drought tolerant

vegetation. Some cities give incentives to replace water hungry lawns. Then in 2014, California

passed AB 2561 encouraging people to grow their own food. But there’s more!

Did you know Los Angeles is subtropical Zone 10b joined only by Hawaii and Florida? This means you can grow tropical fruits and produce that is too perishable to grow and transport commercially.

JOIN THE BACKYARD-TO-TABLE MOVEMENT

Why grow garden variety vegetables or ornamental shrubs when you can grow rare fruits and botanics

like Dragon Fruit, Kaffir Limes, Sapotes, Cherimoyas, Jojoba, Carob, and so on. Your property value in SoCal

is worth top dollar so why not put that backyard to work and grow cash crops, eat what you grow, then sell

your surplus harvest?

We’ve formed a backyard farmer cooperative to share food we grow and pool surplus harvests to sell to

commercial establishments interested in supporting locally grown. This gives locally grown a complete new

meaning. As yard grown tropical fruits and botanics become available to gourmet chefs, bars, distillers, and ice

cremeries… the foodies and food world in Los Angeles will go wild. Join the movement today!
