Urban Agriculture

Urban Roots uses food and farming to transform the lives of young people and inspire, engage, and nourish the community.

By engaging youths on our 3.5 acre farm in East Austin over the past ten years, we have created a safe place where young people can experience first-hand the transformational power of meaningful work in order to become healthy, productive, civically-engaged community members.

Growing Gardens

Growing Gardens helps people grow their own food, in and around Portland, Oregon.

We organize hundreds of volunteers to build organic, raised bed vegetable gardens in backyards, front yards, side yards and even on balconies.

We support low income households for three years with seeds, plants, classes, mentors and more.

Our Youth Grow after-school garden clubs grow the next generation of veggie eaters and growers!

Urban farm - Mother Earth Miami

Mother Earth Miami runs a small urban plot where farmers Katia and Gabi grow a variety of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers for the community, local chefs, community supported herbalism shares and for our handcrafted products.

We're located in Little Haiti where we’re able to teach workshops and sell our herbs, edible flowers and vegetables to local restaurants and the community.

Green City Growers transforms unused space into thriving urban farms, providing our clients with immediate access to nutritious food, while revitalizing city landscapes and inspiring self-sufficiency.

In 2008, Green City Growers was established to offer local Boston-area families, schools, restaurants, businesses and municipalities a professional and experienced “helping hand” to install and maintain organic urban farms in unconventional spaces.

Peterson Garden Project's mission is to recruit, educate and inspire everyone (seriously) to grow and cook their own food!

We change lives, families and communities in the process.

If you're looking to learn about gardening or cooking, connect with your community and put your distinct skills to good use, we are looking for you!

As a 501c3 Chicago-based nonprofit, we’re always looking for volunteers!

Our two missions:

1. We take unused plots of land in the urban Miami area and turn them into neighborhood farms, creating community hubs centered around food and friendship.

Our current farm is located at the Marian Center in Miami Gardens. We grow a wide variety of vegetables on 2 acres, and are Certified Organic. We grow all of our produce using sustainable standards.
