Mud Baron

Mud has helped to convert 1.5 acres into an urban farm, Muir Ranch, located on the grounds of the John Muir School in one of the poorest neighborhoods in Los Angeles County. At-risk and special needs student’s learn to plant, grow, and harvest fruits, vegetables, and flowers year-round. Children become fascinated with nature and learn to till the soil, set irrigation lines, and dig in compost. They also learn the business aspects by selling fruits and vegetables at their farm stand and filling orders for weekly subscribers. He is a tireless advocate for students and without him Muir Ranch would not exist.
