Tending the Farm, Sustaining the Farmer — Generating Income from Your Therapeutic Garden or Farm

​Does your urban farm or garden struggle with financial sustainability? Are you interested in expanding your urban farm's or garden's offerings into agritourism and hosting events?

​Join us for a virtual Lunch & Learn session to discover how Healing Gardens, a Los Angeles-based and Farmer-led online venue directory, can help you diversify your income and be protected while doing it! In this conversation, founders Farmer Rishi and Meadow will share how gardens and farms on their new platform are creating sustainable economic models by offering events, experiences, and venue rentals.

​This is an opportunity to hear directly from fellow LA urban farmers who are supporting their mission-oriented work and nourishing the community, all while generating income. You’ll gain insight from successes and challenges from hosts already using the listing platform, such as:

• ​Arlington Garden

• ​Sandalwood Farm & Sanctuary

• ​And, Arts n Roots Garden

​After hearing testimonials, we’ll take questions from participants and explore how the platform can best fit your unique needs.

​Agenda

• ​Will this session be recorded?

  • ​Yes! This session will be recorded and made available for growers interested in joining the Healing Gardens platform.
