OUR 2025 YEAR IN REVIEW

We exist to ensure every Angeleno has access to fresh, locally grown
food and the knowledge to prepare it.

In 2025, that mission took on new urgency as wildfires, immigration
raids, and cuts to nutrition programs created real challenges for the communities we serve. In response, our network mobilized. We adapted quickly to support families, protect access to food, and keep our farmers’ markets operating as safe, trusted community spaces.

Despite these challenges, 2025 was a year of growth and impact.

We expanded programs, strengthened partnerships, and deepened our
reach, connecting more people to fresh food while supporting local farmers.
