We are 501(c)3 non-profit urban farm in the heart of Oak Cliff, Dallas, Texas. The farm began as a small community garden behind the “6 to 12” convenience store on Edgefield Avenue in Elmwood. Our one-acre lot is home to a community garden, silvopasture (mini orchard) system, community compost program, children's garden & playground, and event space that hosts community gatherings, dinners, and live music. We strive to do big things by thinking small, as we faithfully improve our little corner of the world. Come and join us.
We exist to be a place to cultivate healthy relationships with Land and Neighbor.
Immediate Needs - Covered Patio Facility.
As our capacity and impact grows, we recognize the need for consistency in programming and the need for all weather hospitality. So we are specifically raising money for our covered patio. We have a 1 to 1 donor match for up to $4,000 dollars. Please help us pay for this significant update to the farm!
Long term goals-
