Urban Roots envisions a future of confident, conscious leaders, deeply connected to community, food and the land. | Imagine a place where young people work hard to nurture the earth, growing 25,000 pounds of produce every year on our 3.5 acre farm to nourish the community. This diverse group of youth, between the ages of 14-17, harvests over 40 different fruits and vegetables, cultivating healthy relationships with land and food as they taste freshly dug carrots for the very first time. They gain an intimate understanding of hunger relief by donating 40% of their harvest to local food pantries and soup kitchens, preparing and serving meals to those in need from produce that they planted, tended, and harvested.
