Fresh, locally grown produce cultivated right here on Mott Street — from seed to your table in the heart of East LA.
Mott Street Urban Farm started with a simple conviction: the best food comes from the ground your community actually lives on. What began as a vacant lot transformation has grown into a thriving source of fresh vegetables, herbs, and flowers for Boyle Heights and the wider East LA area.
From vacant lot to living farm
Boyle Heights, Los Angeles
We use organic growing practices, rainwater collection, and composting to minimize our footprint. Every harvest respects the soil and the neighborhood that sustains us.
East LA has too many food deserts and not enough fresh options. We're changing that — one harvest at a time — by putting farm-fresh produce where our neighbors actually shop.
We partner with local schools, restaurants, and organizations to share knowledge, surplus harvests, and the joy of growing something together.
What's fresh depends on the season — but you'll always find something picked at peak flavor, not shipped from hundreds of miles away.
Cilantro, basil, mint, rosemary, and more — cut to order, never sitting on a shelf.
Kale, chard, lettuce, spinach — crisp, nutrient-dense, and harvested the same morning.
Bell peppers, chiles, heirloom tomatoes — the flavors of a California summer, grown right here.
Carrots, beets, radishes, and turnips — earthy, sweet, and pulled fresh from the ground.
Nasturtiums, borage, pansies — beautiful garnishes with peppery, sweet, or tangy flavors.
Our harvest changes with the seasons. Call us or stop by to see what just came in.

Mott Street Urban Farm isn't just a place to buy vegetables — it's a gathering point. We host workshops, school visits, and volunteer days throughout the year because a farm belongs to the people who tend it.
Learn composting, seed saving, and seasonal planting from experienced growers right here at the farm.
We bring the farm to local classrooms and host student field trips to teach hands-on agriculture and nutrition.
Roll up your sleeves and dig in. We welcome volunteers for planting, harvesting, and farm maintenance on scheduled days.
We're right here on Mott Street. Swing by the farm stand, ask about current harvests, or just say hi — we love seeing familiar faces.
