 Farm
Bureau’s purpose is to protect, preserve, and promote agriculture in general, and the
American Family Farming and Ranching way of life.
The Los Angeles County Farm Bureau was
founded in 1917 and currently has over 5000 members. LACFB is a voluntary,
non-governmental, non-profit membership organization of agricultural producers and
individuals that promote agriculture and agricultural education. Our members are also
dedicated to the support and preservation of agriculture throughout Los Angeles County.
As a grass-roots organization, we give
farmers and ranchers a united voice to protect their common interests without regard to
political or religious affiliations. We also strive to promote agriculture through public
relations and educational programs such as AgDayLA, as well as supporting programs involving the California Foundation for Agriculture in the
Classrooom and California School Garden
Network. LACFB advocates and supports the economic advancement of agriculture while
maintaining a balance with the appropriate management of natural resources.
The Los Angeles County Farm Bureau is
affiliated with a nationwide network of Farm Bureaus organized at the county, state, and
national levels.

organization, with more than six million members, representing more than 2,800 county farm
bureaus throughout all 50 states and Puerto Rico.

Benefits of an EarthBox: “I teach
fourth grade and one of the most challenging Science strands for students to comprehend is
Life Science. We grow radish plants and create decomposition units, but they are strictly
for the sole purpose of teaching. Obtaining an Earthbox would give students the hands- on experience of caring for a
real world garden, watching things grow in a unique ecosystem, and then being able to
enjoy the experience of the harvest while seeing the work necessary to grow our own
food”.
Agriculture is Important Because: “We don't want to rely on importing foods from
other countries and states that might not have the high standards we maintain while we
could very easily grow those same foods ourselves on arable land which California richly
provides for us”.
