Rutiz Family Farms

Thanks to Aliye from beachgreens for introducing me to Jerry Rutiz from Rutiz Family Farms. Jerry and his wife Maureen are farming the right way and I am proud to have met them. They are the other 1/2 of our Farm Box. If we can't grow it ourselves we get it from them. Thanks Jerry!

Aliye and I went on a little field trip to visit the farm, enjoy the pictures.

1950 and 1960 Henderson Avenue, Long Beach CA

The Wrigley Community Garden is located at 1950 and 1960 Henderson Ave. This two year project will help in the transformation of Henderson Avenue. We will teach these and other residents basic gardening skills that can be applied to grow their own food here in the demonstration garden and later on in their own homes.

Our mission is to aid in the continued transformation of the Henderson Avenue neighborhood. Our vision is to create a positive, unifying element to a block previously blighted with drug trafficking.
