About the farm
The Urban Teaching Farm grows fresh vegetables, fruits, and herbs on 1 acre of land in the Historic Warnersville neighborhood in Greensboro, NC. Our aim is to to be a financially, ecologically, and culturally sustainable farm so that we can improve access to fresh foods and provide learning opportunities in our community. Our desire is to reintroduce farming to young people so that they not only can grow their own food from their balcony but perhaps become farmers themselves.
