The City Farms project goal is to encourage NYC community gardeners to understand and appreciate the concepts of community food security, and to be motivated to grow, distribute, and market more food within their communities.

Just Food's City Farms program works to increase food production, marketing and distribution via community gardens throughout NYC.

We partner with other NYC groups that have expertise in horticulture, marketing, garden preservation, leadership development and emergency food relief. Together, we offer workshops, training materials, and networking opportunities for NYC communities to grow more food.

The City Farms program partners with Heifer Project International, Cornell Cooperative Extension-NYC, GreenThumb, Bronx Green Up, Brooklyn Green Bridge, Green Guerillas, community gardens and urban farms throughout New York City. The project is opened up to as many gardens as would like to join. We would like as many people working in as many gardens as possible to appreciate the concepts of community food security, and to be motivated and skilled to grow and market more food.
