Urban Patch

Founded in 2011, Urban Patch is an Indianapolis-based, family-owned enterprise with a mission of making the American inner city better.  It relies on a holistic model of social, environmental and economic community development and a “past forward” approach, meaning that it aims to build on the legacy of a community’s past in building strong and resilient neighborhoods today and into the future.  Current projects include The Stone Soup Kitchen, which is creating a series of classes and to teach community members “garden and seasonal nutrition” and how to can and preserve produce, and the Leslie Allen Urban Apiary, which will produce honey, other bee products and lavender while providing open community space.
