Coyote Gourd Community Farm is an extension of our work in the community, a fully functional small farm that grows Black and African diasporic produce and herbs for the community. We have secured land and are breaking ground in 2024!

At our Compton growing site, we focus on field crops; grains, beans, okra, sesame, and garlic. We are located at Greater Watts Community Garden. To volunteer at this site, follow the link to fill out our volunteer form!

We recently broke ground at our newest site on 65th and Western! We are currently waiting on soil test results and looking for 2025 volunteers! Here, we will focus on fresh fruits and vegetables: greens, eggplant, squash, sweet corn, peppers, and more. To volunteer at this site, follow the link to fill out our volunteer form!

Greens not Grass is a neighborhood campaign, reflecting an international movement, putting the power to feed ourselves back into our hands, where it belongs. Greens not Grass holds the hope of our community.

we know the powers that be will not save us, so we must save ourselves.
