Urban Agriculture

At Urban Patchwork, we work with thousands of neighbors throughout Austin to map edible trees and turn under-utilized private and public space into productive urban gardens and farms, educational spaces, and activity centers.

Through this, we strengthen and beautify our communities, expand our food system’s reach, and reduce the environmental impact of landscaping and agriculture.

Our two missions:

1. We take unused plots of land in the urban Miami area and turn them into neighborhood farms, creating community hubs centered around food and friendship.

Our current farm is located at the Marian Center in Miami Gardens. We grow a wide variety of vegetables on 2 acres, and are Certified Organic. We grow all of our produce using sustainable standards.

Bee Heaven Farm in Redland, Florida, provides fresh LOCAL and ORGANIC produce to Southeast Florida via its CSA program and farmers market sales.

Rockwood Urban Farm is a highly productive, small scale, community supported endeavor located in east Portland.

We grow vegetables and flowers using organic methods and our intentions for a well fed and well loved community.
