Farm Tour

You could experience 100 different fresh fruits and vegetables  and animal species thriving in the farms and gardens on any day in Long Beach.

A strong connection to nature, our food and environment can be achieved without leaving the city. We’d like to organize regular tours of Long Beach’s farms, gardens and craft producers.

Goals:

  • Introduce everyone from students to seniors to what growing food looks like
  • Raise money or awareness for local farms which are often operated as non-profits or social enterprises
  • Utilize the tour as a jumping off point for more involvement from citizens

What We Need:

  • Someone to organize the tour
  • Transportation
  • Date to confirm with the farmers/gardeners
