Farm & Food Lab: Spring Harvest

The Farm & Food Lab’s second harvest has arrived! Crops of organic onions have been uprooted and are currently drying (a flavor enhancing and shelf-life improving process). 3,000 pounds of onions are planned to be packed and delivered to local food banks and in a few weeks the ground will again be tilled and planted in time for summer crops.

At retail prices, the Farm & Food Lab has produced crops with a retail value in excess of $30,000. Second Harvest and the Orange County Food Bank have expressed extreme gratitude to the Great Park, especially with the current economic downturn and serious shortage in food supplies.

Did you know? A well managed, productive 80-acre farm can produce enough food in one year to meet the produce and fruit nutritional needs for 30,000 people!
