Urbanstead

Urbanstead Mission: Urbanstead is designed to begin to address the problems of food insecurity as well as the lack of food options within our community. Urbanstead believes that farming in a city is the surest way to feed our children healthy food, become fiscally responsible, support a sustainable future and build our community. Urbanstead is dedicated to empowering our neighborhoods with the knowledge and skills to effect change toward more sustainable communities in Philadelphia. We believe that growing our own food is freedom. We believe that anyone who wants fresh food should have access to it at little to no cost regardless of location, income, gender and culture. We believe that by uniting our community, we can achieve food security.
