About this organization
Mission
The mission of Urban Tilth is to hire and train local residents to cultivate agriculture in West Contra Costa County to help our community build a more sustainable, healthy, and just food system. In sum, we farm, feed, forage, teach, train, build community, employ, and give back. We help our community grow our own food; train and employ our own young people as “homegrown experts”; teach our local residents about the relationships among food, health, poverty, and justice. We use our 7 school and community gardens and small urban farms to teach and employ community members to grow, distribute, cook, and consume thousands of pounds of local produce each year, to create a more equitable and just food system within a healthier and more self-sufficient community.
About
Community Greening is a project open-to-all community farms, gardens and edible streetscapes located at sites through Richmond, particularly centered on nearly two acres of the Richmond Greenway, a former railway line, where we have planted and manage a Berryland, an Edible Forest. Also includes a 42 raised bed community garden also on the Richmond Greenway. We also operate a Garden Technical Assistance team which employs and trains local youth to help other schools, community organizations and churches build and maintain their own gardens.
