Moonwater Farm

Organization Description

A small collective of teachers, makers, and urban agriculturalists situated on a 1/3 acre lot in Compton, CA. We are a land-based learning center interworking food, nature, craft, and solidarity in ways that honor biocultural heritage and traditional agricultural arts. Using a regenerative model, the farm offers a variety of living systems to explore, including aquaponics, food forests, apiaries, row crops, composting, and livestock. We provide relevant and meaningful food system programming to the youth and families of Compton, South Los Angeles, and the greater Long Beach area.

Health & Safety

All work is conducted outside. There is livestock, insects and many potential allergens. We also have bees, anyone allergic would need an EPI pen.
