Farm Happenings Yesterday after a wonderful weekend camping I went back to work to find the farm had been vandalized. Farmstand 59 was tagged on the garage door, our hand painted sign thanking EDCO for their donations, the dumpster and our metal sign were all damaged. So sad that people disrespect the farm like this.    Most of you have been on this farm journey with us since 2010 but those of you who are new to Farm Lot 59, this is nothing new. We have been burglarized, threatened, vandalized and felt insecure at our parcel since inception. The pro's about our location are that is a little remote slice of the city. The cons of the location are the same. We are situated in Willow Springs Gulch which is for the most part an undeveloped piece of Park & Rec. Until the park is cleaned up, the main gate has regular hours, the public is welcome to come and enjoy the space it will remain unsafe.    Our long conversation with LBPD has always been the same. More people need to utalitize Willow Springs Gulch. More people need to report bad behavior on site but the most important thing is for us to have more electricity. Its crucial that we install spotlights and cameras. These things might continue to happen but at least we will be able to abate more and report with footage.    Sorry to bring the sad news. We will clean up the graffiti and continue to work on the farm but if your in the area come by and give the farm a little hug. Its important that this farm not only thrives in our urban landscape but remains a safe space for all.    Thanks for the love- Sasha Kanno Farmer - Founder - Farm Lot 59     Donate 2714 California Avenue, Long Beach, CA, USA Share Via: Farm Lot 59

Farm Happenings This summer is flying by, I hope you all had a chance to come join us at one of the volunteer days or community events we held. After 9 seasons I decided to take this summer a little slower and enjoy the beach and camping with friends and family. It was a much needed break from the heat of the farm. We are still in production for our restaurant partners but the weeds and bugs are really starting to take over. I'll be happy for cooler farm days ahead.    Here are some dates for Sept & October.    Sept 12 - Nov 21 Volunteer with us on Thursdays. 9-2 every Thursday we will be working with our CSULB service learners. Everyone is welcome to join but please no kids on this day. Please arrive on time (if you have to leave early that's ok but we all must start together). You can find out where to park and what to bring here.    Sept 21st 9-? Irrigation upgrade with Bill from Netafim and his farming students. Join us for this work day. We will be installing valves and working toward the next step of our irrigation upgrade. Perfect work day if you are interested in learning about water flow rates, and how to install or maintain an irrigation system. Everyone is welcome to this work day. We will be grilling lunch for everyone, bring a pot luck item if you wish.    Sept 22nd SAVE THE DATE - Pop-up Sunday Supper dinner at the farm. Chef Alex and our team from Tribe Catering are going to pop-up for a Filipino style meal. We are growing speciality crops just for this dinner. Its going to be amazing. Ticket link will be posted soon. It will sell out because seating is very limited.    October 26th - Farm Roast! This is our last party for the year and these Roast events are always so much fun. The Pollen Collective is going to come and play music for you. Our chef line up is growing, names and menu will be posted when we get closer. These Roast events happen twice a year. $5 per person and the door goes to the musicians and 100% of the food purchased goes back to the farm. Please bring a chair, blanket and your own drinks.    I hope to see all of y'all soon either on a Thursday work day, Sunday Supper, irrigation install or the Roast. I'll post more saturday's and other work days as they come up. The best way is to follow #farmlot59 hashtag on Instagram.    Thanks for all the farm love and have a great end of summer   -Sasha  Farmer - Founder - Farm Lot 59 Electrical and Water Upgrade   We are getting closer to having our water main upgraded and electrical installed on the farm. The 2 go hand in hand, can't have new irrigation controls without electrical.    Please consider donating to the cause.    Donate 2714 California Avenue, Long Beach, CA, USA Share Via: Farm Lot 59
