The Urban Farm Collective works by accepting a landowner’s property offer
to the collective on a season-by-season basis. They test the land for lead, seek
out a garden manager for the site, and then support the transformation into
a collective, neighborhood-run garden. The collectives leads statewide policy
advocacy efforts to increase access to resources for hungry families, nutrition
education, and support for community food systems. The agency focuses
on community organizing efforts to build a stronger local food system and
education programs that teach low-income clients how to cook and eat
healthy on a budget. They also operate so that all of their members hours
can be traded for fresh produce at their weekly barter/harvest market. This
is a unique barter system and there is no money trade whatsoever within the
collective. They strive to include as many people as we can throughout the
community, regardless of their income level.
