Crop Swap LA

Regenerative Organic Soil is Life

It’s hard to get what your body needs when even organic food is often grown in nutrient-deficient fields. Nutritious food is a right, not a luxury.
Crop Swap LA believes our food should be:

• Nutrient-grown in enriched and tested soil; for perfect mineral and nutrient composition.
• Free of pesticides or any GMO seed usage.

Grown this way, veggies and fruit are easier to ingest into the body, provide us with with nutrients we need and will last longer in your refrigerator.

Rainwater Harvesting & Water Recycling

A So-Cal Garden Must

Southern California has many environmental challenges. Our biggest however, is our lack of water. Everyday, we import 1.5 billion gallons of water – yikes! How could we ever we justify using water to grow our gardens?

Thankfully, we have not even scratched the surface in Rainwater Harvesting. Capturing free rainwater for future irrigation reuse must be part of the next sustainable evolution of our City of Los Angeles.
Crop Swap LA is partnering with EnviroscapeLA and Mike Garcia for future installations, ensuring our impact is net positive.
Nature offers an abundance of chances to regain control of our food, money, social habits and environment.

Local Nutrient Transfer

You deserve the nutrients under your feet! Imagine if we grew all this food nearby and sold it elsewhere…it would re-create the environmental malpractices, equity-ignorant distribution patterns, and extract, instead of regenerate. At Crop Swap LA, we commit to targeting 80% of our food sales within the zip codes of the food area grown.
