Newburgh Urban Farm and Food

Mission | To build a just and equitable system to ensure fresh food is accessible to everyone. Families will be able to grow their own food for a minimal cost.

One of the main goals of the Newburgh Urban Farm and Food initiative is to bring an innovative solution to the City of Newburgh that will increase access to healthy food while helping to revitalize the economic and social health of our community. NUFFI operates a 2-acre farm in the heart of Newburgh's historic Downing Park. Urban Farming can provide jobs, job training and economic development for

residents. Increasing local food production increases access to fresh vegetables and fruits in a city with few supermarkets. And, Urban Farming encourages community pride, provides space for outdoor community gatherings, and revitalizes neighborhoods. Why Newburgh? Urban Farming builds on Newburgh’s strengths. Well defined neighborhoods; ethnic diversity; existing community gardens; experienced community organizations; a strong base of agriculture in the County; Newburgh’s focus on youth; a renewed commitment to making Newburgh a better place to live.
