Plot Rentals and CSA Subscriptions at Dunleith

Urban Harvest is happy to announce that we have space available for Aycock and non-Aycock residents to rent garden space at the Dunleith Community Garden. Download a Plot Rental Agreement form here.

We are also offering Spring CSA subscriptions. Visit our blog to read more about the CSA, or download the info and registration form to become a member. See photos of Dawn and Justin making CSA crates in our projects section below.

Dunleith was the first large-scale community garden that Urban Harvest installed. We will be starting a conversation with residents of Fisher Park about installing a community garden in that neighborhood this coming spring. So if you live outside of Aycock and you're interested in a community garden or CSA, let us know that you're interested, and we'll keep you in touch about developing conversations.

welcome tothe Urban Harvest website. We are an organization based out of Greensboro, North Carolina — a city of approximately 250,000 residents located in the center of the state.

Urban Harvest is a non-profit corporation established in 2009. Our mission is to provide and promote local urban food production, distribution and education, made accessible to all citizens, using the principles of sustainability. The vision of Urban Harvest is to create a community where all citizens have access to healthy, fresh food grown right in Greensboro.

Our long-term vision is focused around a model urban farm in Greensboro which will serve as our hub for urban food production, workshops, on-the-job farmer training, and the distribution of food through our mobile market. The mobile market, or veggie mobile will serve communities which lack access to affordable, healthy food, and will be supported by an ever-expanding network of urban farmers and micro eco-farms growing food in those same communities.

In addition to our educational goals, we provide the service of installating residental edible landscaping. Learn more about this service in our Get Involved section below.

Urban Harvest aims to provide all of Greensboro with greater production of local and sustainably produced food, and resource and skill-sharing to empower all citizens to produce their own food and contribute to our city as a vibrant, self-sustaining community.

To learn more and keep up with our community work, see our projects here, read our blog here, and learn how you can become involved here. And thanks for visiting.

As a non-profit we welcome your donations!

Garden Installations

As an entrepreneurial endeavor and as a way to support our community outreach programs, we offer consulting, design and installation of residential edible landscapes. This means that we can turn your back (or front) yard into a garden. We especially like to include perennials like dwarf fruit trees and berry bushes that produce year after year with little maintenance, and local varieties of our favorite seasonal crops. We maintain a philosophy on integrated pest management with our organic gardening principles. In addition, we help you understand how to integrate your little backyard market into your daily meals and lives. Contact us us if you would like to set up a consultation.

Volunteers

Want to get your hands dirty? Want to learn about sustainable mico-farming methods? Do you have expertise to contribute? Join us for a work day (see Dunleith above), to start a farm, or help maintain an existing farm. We also love group volunteers, so send us an email if you are interested in bringing your group out to the garden.

Supplies and Barters

We welcome donations of farming or gardening tools. Or if you have services such as accounting, legal expertise or other professional services, we love to barter with food.

Financial Support

We graciously accept financial contributions.
