Helping to make nutritious foods accessible to all of our neighbors in Los Angeles.
Since 2018, we’ve been building soil through regenerative farming practices. Focusing on soil health through permanent root systems, diversity of crops, and balanced soil chemistry. Taking inspiration from historical hillside farmers, we’re building a system of multistrata agroforestry — also known as a food forest — a mix of trees and perennial shrubs to stabilize the hillside.
MEET THE LEADERSHIP TEAM
Eric Tomassini
Executive Director
Eric founded the farm in 2018 with Ali Greer, his wife. He has farmed for more than 15 years, and has been a chef and cook at a number of restaurants. He was once the director of a job training and re-skilling program for the Salvation Army, providing culinary instruction to their residents.
Andrea Oloughlin
Programming Manager
In her past work, Andrea has facilitated youth workshops, assisted with curriculum development for a local youth organization, and worked as an outreach specialist and community organizer. She has also been a server trainer at a long-standing local restaurant. She’s qualified to lead the development of the programming that will feature in our salad-bar stocking and farm field trips.
Pedro Moura
Head of Distribution
Pedro coordinates with our farmers and farm partners to procure the weekly contents of our farm boxes. He also runs our farmstands and weekly free food distributions, helps on the farm, and writes our newsletters. He was once a sportswriter for outlets like the Los Angeles Times, covering the Dodgers. He is a trained wilderness instructor who leads backpacking trips for teens.
