Fresh compost, deep roots, and even deeper gratitude! 🌱✨

Huge thanks to the Horticulture Technology students from for their hard work topping off our raised beds and mastering the broadfork. We’re beyond grateful for their skills, energy, and dedication!

Our fields may be resting, but we’re not! ❄️💪 HUF Staff Brian and Wiley traded farm planning for food pantry duty, supporting our partner who we grow for all season long. Growing season or not, food insecurity doesn’t take a break, and we're so grateful to Brashear for letting us help out!!

A celebration of community and resilience 🌱✨ 🎀✂️

Hilltop Urban Farm was honored to support the opening of the Freeman Family Farm Store. The ribbon cutting marks another pivotal milestone in Lisa Freeman's vision of community empowerment and resilience.

We were thrilled to celebrate this momentous achievement alongside Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Redding, Pittsburgh Mayor Gainey, and many other urban ag nonprofits who share the dream of a Pittsburgh where everyone has access to fresh and nutritious produce.
