Welcome
Urban Tilth cultivates agriculture in west Contra Costa County to help our community build a more sustainable, healthy, and just food system. We work with schools, community-based organizations, government agencies, businesses, and individuals to develop the capacity to produce 5% of our own food supply.
2 Farms in 2 Days
On the weekend of February 27-28th, the school communities of Richmond High School and Kennedy High School will be building 2 school “farms” in 2 days! These farms will grow food that directly changes the food landscape of the families in the schools of Richmond. And best of all, the farms will be built by the students, teachers, parents and community members surrounding the schools. These “farms” will accompany Urban Agriculture Institutes at both schools where students will learn not only how to manage the farms, but earn graduation credit, learn better nutrition and build and beautify the school community. Please help us fundraise for the material and labor costs to make these “farms” a reality. Richmond and Kennedy High will be the first High Schools in California to run a food production program that is student centered, service oriented, and entirely focused on producing healthy food that feeds the community from which it came. Support that premise and begin to bring change to our public schools.
We have many ways in which to support this endeavor. Please choose a product-level that you are comfortable with and will help moves us towards our goal of $80,000 by February 27th. Click to Support Our Farms. Thank you.
