WELCOME TO THE LAURELS FARM

Where tradition meets innovation, and the love for farming runs deep in our roots. Founded in 2022 by Danika and L Villalva, The Laurels Farm is more than just a place of cultivation—it’s a testament to our commitment to sustainable agriculture and community empowerment.

Danika, a Chicago native with a background in contracting, brings her expertise as a master gardener to the heart of our farm. Her passion for nurturing the land and growing organic fruits and vegetables is evident in every harvest. With a keen eye for detail and a dedication to preserving the environment, Danika is the driving force behind our mission to restore the land back to its former glory as a thriving family farm.

L, hailing from Los Angeles with a Masters Degree in Business Administration, spearheads our sales development and community investment initiatives. With deep familial ties to Chihuahua, Jalisco, and Zacatecas, Mexico, L brings a unique perspective to our farm’s operations. Their focus on fostering meaningful connections within the community and promoting sustainable practices ensures that The Laurels Farm remains a cornerstone of agricultural innovation and social responsibility.

There is always room for another person at the table

At The Laurels Farm, we take pride in sharing our knowledge and passion for farming with others. Whether it’s through educational workshops, farm tours, or simply sharing a meal made from our fresh, organic produce, we invite you to join us on this journey of growth and discovery.

As proud parents of three children, family is at the heart of everything we do. Our eldest daughter is pursuing her dreams in law school, while our son is working towards his Masters in Engineering and actively contributes to the farm in his free time. Our youngest daughter, studying engineering in Boston, brings her enthusiasm and energy to the farm whenever she visits, often bringing along friends to lend a hand.
