What is an urban farm? An urban farm is any urban or suburban space that is used for growing food. This could be a backyard raised bed, a patio container garden, or a ½ acre community garden. Urban farms are growing in popularity because they not only provide fresh food throughout the growing season but they also add beauty to urban spaces.
CityFARM offers a wide range of services to help you produce food from your backyard. See Our Services for more information. We are giving back to our community by donating the food grown at Adams Street Farm to Food Gatherers.
