Urban Farms Need Your Support

Sponsored Content

Pittsburgh is home to amazing individuals who started urban farms and community gardens in black communities that are suffering from decades of food apartheid. You have the opportunity to join forces with Farm to Table Buy Local in by contributing to their fundraising campaign.. Your dollars will support urban farm infrastructure projects such as solar power, irrigation, shade structures, washing stations, seeds, compost, and so much more. Additionally, many staff members of these urban farms and gardens are working for free on land they don’t own.

They need help to:

Acquire land / compensate staff / purchase equipment through co-operatives / capture food dollars that are spent by people living in the neighborhoods by working with WIC, SNAP, and PASS programs.

Peace & Friendship Farm

Sankofa Village Community Farm & Garden

The Peace And Friendship Farm in the Hill District was founded by Kent Bey, president of the Project LOVE Coalition. “I started this after the White House challenge to end veteran homelessness,” he says. Bey, who is a veteran, transformed a vacant corner into a thriving quarter-acre community garden filled with 80 raised beds and two greenhouses — creating a safe space for veterans and neighbors to grow their own food together.
Ebony Evans runs the Food For The Soul Community Farm in Manchester. The self-taught gardener began by teaching her own kids and neighbors how to grow their own food. Volunteers at the quarter-acre farm can take some of the harvest, neighbors get some produce, and the food is distributed weekly to high rises in the community, too. The farm produced 1,000 pounds of produce last season. Learn more about Urban Farm Fundraising Campaign
