Walnut and Daisy Micro-Farm Project
This Community Benefits Report outlines existing market conditions in the area around 1901 W.
Walnut St., the "Walnut and Daisy Street" parcel, how THRIVE Santa Ana's proposed Micro-farm project will provide numerous community benefits to the local neighborhood, and to the City of Santa Ana as a whole. Current market trends are characterized by worsening economic and health conditions including increased rates of poverty, lack of open or green space, youth and adult obesity. Demand for more inclusive economic development, access to healthy food and lifestyle options, is also an opportunity to involve local residents in a solution-oriented approach to development. Using this approach, the Walnut and Daisy Micro-farm anticipates successful provision of economic and social benefits: civic engagement, healthy food and lifestyle choices; local jobs and supplemental income for providers and consumers; cost savings for residents and for the City of Santa Ana; increased local investment and municipal taxes; and increased community wealth through community-led development.
