Making veggie supply and demand meet in South LA.

We slowed down our culinary/nutrition programs the last 18 months to focus on food production and what a success!  From 2012 to 2014, we saw a 434% increase in food production from 150 lbs to 801 lbs, annually.  Now, we're working to streamline our distribution processes and start building more demand for our veggies in South LA.  With our "Buck a Bunch" winter greens sales, kids' cooking classes at the LAPD Alba Rec center, adult cooking classes at Maya Angelou High in partnership with LATCH, and our diabetes program planning with patients at the St. John's Wellness Center, we're figuring out where supply and demand for veggies meet in South LA!
