News: urban farming

Urban farming has gotten a bit of notice in the past few years. One of the most vocal advocates is local Tara Kolla, who runs Silver Lake Farms out of her home. Along with her and the support of passionate Los Angelenos, urban farming advocates won approval clarifying an ordinance on whether people can sell fruit and vegetables they grow in their yard.

They can! It makes sense from an economic and environmental point of view. Why let food go to waste? Why not make a few dollars off your trees and share the wealth with the neighborhood?
