Here’s what Friendship Gardens says about its Urban Farm: We believe everyone should have access to fresh, healthy food. We teach sustainable food production and grow healthy food for people who need it
Our urban farm, located on 3 acres at Garinger High School in East Charlotte, is the new hub of our operation, allowing us to dramatically expand our teaching and growing capabilities.
The Urban Farm Learning Center is focused on producing fresh, healthy food; teaching people to feed themselves in a sustainable way; and workforce development through targeted internships and transitional employment.
