Fresh food starts with daily care.

These kale, collard, and Swiss chard plants are growing strong and will help provide fresh, locally grown produce for our community. 🌱

What’s your favorite leafy green?

A look inside the hoop house. 🌱

Back in March, strong windstorms blew off this structure and slowed early plant growth during a critical part of the season. Recovery took time, but the crops kept pushing forward.

Now the hoop house is filling back in with healthy growth thanks to consistent care from staff and volunteers.

Which crop would you want to grow in a hoop house? Tell us below.

A great volunteer day and a fun coincidence.

A few weeks ago, when the Jomar Valve team reserved their volunteer day at the farm, we noticed something unexpected. One of the valves connected to our greenhouse watering hose also carried the Jomar Valve name.

Today, their team joined us for a day of service, and we had to capture the moment with a photo.

Thank you to the team for giving your time to support Earthworks and . Your team made a difference today, and your products help us keep things growing everyday.

Thank you to everyone who joined us today for our Spring Garden Blessing at Earthworks Urban Farm! In addition to blessing the garden, we blessed a statue of St. Isidore the Farmer, patron saint of agriculture and farmers. We are grateful to continue the growing season at Earthworks with prayer and peace.
