Excerpt:
Realizing he could expand the farm beyond his neighborhood, Hargins worked with a mentor and friends to design his first three flagship microfarms.
The first was Asante Microfarm, which they started in a friend’s front yard in the View Park neighborhood of L.A. in 2021.
“All of our microfarms are solar power and water recycling,” Hargins said.“That means the solar power is used to pump our tanks, then those pumps move the water efficiently, using gravity to return it. I want to encourage people to think about urban survival, creating something on your property that’s valuable.”
The Asante Microfarm alone captures about 800 gallons of water per rainfall, distributing it through overhead sprayers and gravity-fed channels to nourish chard, kale and other greens.
The property now produces enough food for 11 families every week, thanks to crop rotation, which maximizes yield.
