Urbanstead is dedicated to empowering our neighborhoods with the knowledge and skills to effect change toward more sustainable communities in Philadelphia and Camden. We believe that growing our own food is freedom. We believe that anyone who wants fresh food should have access to it at little to no cost regardless of location, income, gender and culture. We believe that by uniting our community, we can achieve food security.

Youth Plots

Urbanstead believes reaching out to the youth in our community is one of the most important steps for guaranteeing a future of healthy eating and sustainability. We view our community farms as a “safe space” for young people to to come learn, work, and develop the life skills necessary for a successful future.

​Our program, Youth Plots, partners with local youth organizations in the community with a specific emphasis on at-risk youth. Youth Plots trains young people in urban farming techniques through a hands on experience in the gardens.

OUR CURRENT NEEDS:

  • Partnerships with Youth and Community Organizations in Philadelphia and Camden
  • Containers that are safe for planting vegetables.
  • Garden Tools such as shovels, hoes, rakes, pruning shears, trowels, gloves etc. We accept used or new donations!
  • Soil, seeds, starter plants and compost.
