Located just down the road at the Farm + Food Lab at The Great Park in Irvine, CA, Alegría Farms is revolutionizing the food industry right from home. The zero-waste, solar-powered one-acre regenerative urban microfarm employs hydro-organic and 100% organic soil-based growing systems, featuring their exclusive and innovative SoxxBoxx system. This SoxxBoxx system optimizes the genetic potential of your favorite leafy greens, herbs and vegetables by employing rich “living soil” in Soxx that contains all the essential minerals, beneficial microbes, humus plus superior oxygen and water holding capacity needed to deliver your plants all they need to flourish.
Alegría Farms designs zero waste, high performance farms that repurpose unused spaces deployed over man-made surfaces close to where people live and work. They call it “tractorless” farming. All seedlings originate from certified non-GMO seeds, and this year, Alegría Fresh heirloomed more than 300,000 seeds from its crops.
Not only is the farm growing food of the highest quality, they’re engaging with the community in a way that is long-lasting and highly impactful.
Their Regenerative Health Center is developing training programs to assist with becoming local installers and/or operators of Alegría SoxxBoxx technologies in local communities.
Alegría’s fresh community teaching kitchen called “Table-on-the Farm” provides workshops with professional chef, and their urban training center teaches individuals how to own and operate their own high-performance regenerative organic urban farm, using the principles they have developed over the last seven years.
It is businesses like this that help our community thrive, and we look forward to seeing the lasting impact that Alegría farms has on the health and wellbeing of our town.
