Potager Market Garden is the original site that helped shape our model: grow food locally, build relationships, and keep community spaces thriving. It serves as a hub for seasonal production and gatherings, and it supports food access beyond the growing season through microgreens delivered directly to partner pantries. If you want to see how our work connects food, stewardship, and neighborhood leadership, this is where it all starts.

Berwick Alternative Community Garden brings together many ways to grow: student learning, individual plots, and shared community space. The site includes a student school garden, communal areas, educational beds, and annually leased plots that support gardeners at every experience level. A key part of the site is our free farmstand, which helps ensure that food grown here can circulate back to the people closest to it: students, families, staff, and neighbors.

Wexner Heritage Rooftop Garden is a place where access to nature is built into daily life. What began as cut flower production for residents has grown into a restored rooftop garden that produces food for residents, families, and staff. The garden is often an easy, welcoming connection point to the outdoors for people who may not otherwise have that access. Once a month, produce from the rooftop is donated to Jewish Family Services.

Garden District Community Farm is designed for scale, collaboration, and long term impact. Located on a City of Columbus Landbank parcel, this fenced in site is being revitalized into a thriving, high yield urban farm.

This is one of the places where you can see our commitment to turning underused land into community powered infrastructure.

LSS Champion Avenue Farm is a community anchored production site developed in partnership with Lutheran Social Services and local collaborators.

It is a working example of how underused land can become a stable, high impact growing space when the right partners share a vision.

LIFE Community Farm represents what restoration can look like in an urban landscape. This fenced in space is being restored into a high yield production farm through a lease partnership with LIFE Vineyard Church. The goal is simple: bring the land back into service for community based agriculture and food access, while creating a dependable place for volunteers and growers to build skills and contribute to a stronger neighborhood food system.

Southside Fruit Park was built to feel welcoming, multigenerational, and rooted in neighborhood identity. Launched in partnership with the Parsons Area Merchant Association and Community Housing Network, the park offers fresh fruit as a community shared resource and a reason to gather. Fruit varieties were selected with attention to neighborhood preferences, and plantings are timed so something can be available across the growing season. It is part orchard, part public commons, and part invitation to build relationships outdoors.

New Roots Farm exists to lower the barrier to becoming a grower. The site is intentionally designed as a supportive entry point into urban agriculture, with room to learn the realities of production through hands on practice. It offers space for emerging growers to build skills, confidence, and community while producing food close to home and strengthening local food access.
