Urban Farms of Central Ohio, an initiative of Mid-Ohio Foodbank, is dedicated to transforming vacant sites in under-served neighborhoods into productive, sustainable urban farms that provide food insecure residents access to fresh, local produce, jobs and job training, and opportunities for civic engagement. Growing on two five-acre parcels in Columbus, both farms use sustainable vegetable production techniques to grow high-quality produce for both market buyers and low-income families. The farms also serve as a training ground for youth, a vehicle for hands-on learning about healthy living, and a place that brings community together.
