Welcome to EarthWorks Community Farm |
|
We provide job, life skills, nutrition and organic farming training, employment, and leadership development for youth at our organic urban farm at the Whittier Narrows Recreation Area in South El Monte, California. At our 4 acre EarthWorks Community Farm, program youth are employed to learn how to grow high quality, fresh organic vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers and provide customer service at the produce stand. The ultimate goal is to transform our youth into leaders and productive community members. We increase the health of the community through the sales and donations of our organic produce and through nutrition education. By being a community urban farm and orchard, we bring the community together to support health and well-being of people and the planet.
