Thank you and sincerely, Leslie *********** Help save the nation's largest urban farm, South Central Farm. By showing your support, you can preserve an organic farm to save 14 acres of beautiful land in the heart of LA. The SOUTH CENTRAL FARM helps the area's less fortunate survive by growing food for their families and farmer's markets as well as providing a safe area for their children to play and experience nature. There has been a 70% crime rate decrease in the area since the farm was created. 350 poverty-level families currently farm the land at South Central Farm. The farm, founded in 1993 as a grant from Mayor Tom Bradley to area farmers, is an oasis housing 500 trees and a burgeoning population of birds and butterflies in the middle of what can honestly be called downtown LA's concrete and environmental wasteland. Julia Butterfly Hill, Daryl Hannah, Joan Baez and artist activist John Quigley are staging an ongoing tree-sit on-site to protest the sale of the farm to a major area developer. Forced evacuation by the Los Angeles sheriff's department is imminent.
