WHO WE ARE

Orto is a 501(C)(3) non-profit focused on generating healthy produce within sight of downtown Los Angeles. We provide free education to the public regarding food production and small scale agriculture via our instagram.

We currently donate crops to NELA Mercadito, an open market that serves the community with free food.

Our long term goals remain hiring one or more workers at a living wage and donating proceeds from our operation to charities that serve the unhoused, impoverished, and victims of domestic violence.

our vision

The philosophical center of Orto remains a tapestry of humanitarian outreach, ethical food production, and a transfer of knowledge between generations. We want to feed people in a way that does not damage them or the environment. We plan to use techniques that enable great crop yields without relying on immense amounts of water, pesticides, or chemical fertilizers. We seek to teach kids that growing food is fun and that sustainable agriculture can happen right in their own backyard.
