Urban Homestead

Urban Homestead grows vegetables, fruits, and herbs on its city plot and supplements its farm box program through a cooperative of local farms and food artisans. The farm describes its approach as regenerative farming and frames the box program as a way for customers to eat more regeneratively by reducing their food print. Produce offerings rotate on a seasonal basis. Partner farms featured in the cooperative include operations that are certified organic, such as McGrath Family Farms and JF Organic Farms (certified under CCOF). The farm began improving its soil through composting and mulching from its earliest years, and has historically integrated water-conservation methods including clay pot irrigation and rainwater collection into its growing practices.
