Work week, rain, and a reminder
We had the pleasure of hosting a group of motivated, giving, hard-working volunteers all week long. They were a group of youth from College Park Baptist who turned their cancelled summer trip to New Orleans into lemonade and came to work, learn, and listen on the land.

Pick Strawberries and enjoy the summer weather!
I wanted to invite everyone out this weekend, sunrise to sunset, Saturday and Sunday, to pick all of the strawberries you'd like! We got a few more harvests off of them but the time has come to call it quits on their productivity and storage quality. They are smaller and take a lot longer to pick t1 read more »

Farm Happenings for June 4, 2020
The rains haven't been easy on all of our crops but our Summer favorites are growing like crazy! I think if I had sat in the cucumber beds for an hour I would have been able to watch them grow! Check out this adorable baby cucumber!

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.
