Urban Agriculture

Urban Oasis Project is a local food promoter and information source operating in Miami-Dade since 2008. We believe that good, clean, healthy food should be accessible to all.

We're present at farmers markets, plant gardens with low-income families, and support many local farms by bringing their produce to markets.

We also run potluck meals focusing on local food, "farmer-direct" dinners, arts events and more.

Little River Cooperative is a multifaceted plant-based business designed to provide Miami with a number of gardening and vegetable services.

We offer locals a unique CSA (community supported agriculture) with all produce coming from local small farms, a nursery at which one can buy all they need for starting their own backyard organic garden, and garden consultation, installation, and maintenance services.

Sprout City Farms offers programs designed to meet the food access and farm education needs of the Denver and Lakewood communities we serve. With your help, we create thriving local food systems for healthy, resilient communities.

WHAT WE DO

Internships and Apprenticeships
The SCF internship and apprenticeship program helps aspiring farmers and those interested in the food system acquire the skills needed for urban agriculture.

At Boggy Creek Farm, we sell fresh, organic veggies at our farm stand - and we offer volunteer opportunities to gain experience in urban farming. We love working side-by-side with community members who want to explore this fascinating field.

Get urban farm experience and take home some fresh veggies for your efforts!

Contact us and our volunteer coordinator will reach out to you to schedule your first shift.

We offer free, practical how-to workshops at a variety of locations in collaboration with our community partners.

The workshops cover choosing the right native plants for your yard, natural landscaping techniques that reduce water use and pollution, supporting beneficial insects and pollinators, and putting rainwater to use with a rain garden!

Our workshops are free and open to everyone, but they fill up quickly – register for a workshop today!

Tryon Life Community Farm offers Portland a deep program of sustainability education, via workshops, land projects, classes, events and more.

Our site is nestled into Tryon Creek State Park, a 650-acre ecosystem of towering firs, cedars and diverse Northwest forest. We are seven acres of rolling meadow, gardens, homes, naturally-built structures and wooded cliffs: a unique sustainability educational facility and community gathering place.

Peterson Garden Project's mission is to recruit, educate and inspire everyone (seriously) to grow and cook their own food!

We change lives, families and communities in the process.

If you're looking to learn about gardening or cooking, connect with your community and put your distinct skills to good use, we are looking for you!

As a 501c3 Chicago-based nonprofit, we’re always looking for volunteers!

The kinds of things our volunteers do include:

Mother Earth Miami runs a small urban plot where farmers Katia and Gabi grow a variety of vegetables, herbs and edible flowers for the community, local chefs, community supported herbalism shares and for our handcrafted products.

We're located in Little Haiti where we’re able to teach workshops and sell our herbs, edible flowers and vegetables to local restaurants and the community.
