Description: Farm LA is a non-profit dedicated to rescuing underutilized lots in Los Angeles for solar and agricultural farms. The organization acquires vacant properties and turns them into farms that grow food for community distribution, or solar farms to help the city generate its water and energy from renewable resources. The founders want to help create a cultural awareness and appreciation for community gardening, healthy eating, and sustainable energy. Initially, Farm LA focused its efforts on public mini-farms on sidewalks around Los Angeles, focusing especially in neighborhoods that are considered food deserts. They have implemented 10 such mini-farms, and have since expanded their services. The website for Farm LA provides a history of the nonprofit, as well as major programs on which the volunteers focus: land reclamation for urban farming and establishment of solar farms, youth farming education, advocacy, and farmers' markets and food donations. The site features a store with branded merchandise for sale, links to sign up to volunteer, and donation and donor information.

Description: Plant It Forward (PIF) is a nonprofit organization with the mission to empower refugees to develop sustainable farming businesses that produce fresh, healthy food for our community. The organization envisions thriving farmers, enriching Houston’s vibrant culture. The farmers are independent contractors which gives them autonomy over their schedules and flexibility in how they wish to sell their produce, and PIF strives to ensure that its farmers can become financially independent through their work. Additionally, PIF facilitates a weekly Farm Share subscription program and coordinates sales to restaurants and distributors, plus our farmers sell directly to customers from farm stands and at farmers markets. The website for the organization provides information about the urban farming intiative, including biographies of the farmers and ways in which the public can support the program in buying produce at farm stands, farmers markets, subscriptions, and at restaurants.
