Cottonwood Urban Farm

In the winter of 2012, Cottonwood Urban Farm was just a seed of an idea—a small vision to turn a dusty plot of land in Panorama City into something meaningful. Founded by Elliott Kuhn, an LA native and educator, Cottonwood grew from that initial dream into a joyful, thriving urban farm dedicated to food, community, and education. Nestled in the Tujunga Wash basin, this farm was built by hand, one bed at a time, transforming once-forgotten soil into a vibrant space where people, plants, and ideas can grow together.
