About Us
Farm2Power is a diverse collaborative utilizing mutual aid funds to support BIPOC-run community farms, provide fresh produce to Angelinos in need of food support and redistribute resources back into our community.
Our goal is to support BIPOC farm collectives that are most heavily exploited by big corporations through fairly compensating them for their produce. This not only helps alleviate the food waste crisis, but also distributes free food to our Los Angeles community. We specifically aim to center groups marginalized by the effects of capitalism, racism, transphobia, xenophobia, and the prison industrial complex in our outreach and distribution efforts.
