About Black Thumb Farm - 
Black Thumb Farm is a nonprofit urban farm and gathering space dedicated to empowering BIPOC youth and community through land-based programming, growing culturally sustaining foods and flowers, and providing healing access to vital green space for the San Fernando Valley. They center BIPOC voices and experiences in our pursuit of land, seed, and food sovereignty. They work to be in right relation with Indigenous peoples as visitors on unceded Tataviam, Tongva, and Chumash lands.

They have been proudly serving the San Fernando Valley community since 2020!

BIPOC-centered farming practices are the foundation of their farm. They implement and educate on closed-loop practices that are beneficial for our local ecosystem, for people, and for the earth at large. Some have deemed these practices as "regenerative", but they believe in crediting our indigenous ancestors with these brilliant farming ways.
