Urban Harvest STL

Urban Harvest STL aims to grow organic food for people living in St. Louis food deserts.  The nonprofit grows food at several urban gardens and rooftop farms, and has partnered with St. Louis MetroMarket, a “farmers market on wheels,” to ensure those in food deserts can access healthy food on a weekly basis.  Also focused on education, Urban Harvest trains interns and volunteers, and holds community events to teach people how to grow food and lead healthier lives.  In 2016, Urban Harvest grew over 3,500 pounds of organic produce valued at nearly $21,000.
