Westgate Community Farm

Westgate Community Farm is a one-acre urban education and production farm established in 2015 on land owned by the Westgate Community Redevelopment Agency, in an area identified by the USDA as a food desert. The farm grows a wide range of fruits, vegetables, and herbs, and makes produce available through seasonal weekly Greenmarkets as well as a mobile market that delivers to residents. It also offers rentable garden plots and serves as a green space open to neighbors. Westgate Community Farm accepts SNAP/EBT payments and participates in Feeding Florida's Fresh Access Bucks (FAB) program, which doubles SNAP benefits toward Florida-grown produce. Education and engagement are central to its work, with workshops, field trips, mentorship, volunteer days, and apprenticeship opportunities offered on site.
