Food Justice For All.
A not for profit rooftop garden project in Midtown Manhattan, committed to providing fresh, free, locally-grown produce and expanding green space
Our Mission
Midtown Manhattan has a wonderfully diverse community of residents, workers, commuters, and visitors. However, in the face of rising rent and competitive pricing of organic foods, many members of our community don’t have access to fresh produce. Underpaid workers in Midtown Manhattan struggle to find affordable, healthy food for meals.
Our founding farm is located on the corner of 7th Avenue and West 39th Street, the mission of Inner City Farmer’s small intensive agricultural project is to donate our freshly prepared vegetable produce to residents of Midtown Manhattan who cannot personally afford to pay for it. We have have also installed gardens on roof tops, court yards and vacant space around the city and we can install one for anyone interested in spreading green in our city.
Our Goals
New York City residents continue to face a food crisis that has lasted almost since the foundation of the City. Our task is to make healthy food available and affordable for all New Yorkers regardless of their life’s situation. Our goal is to turn the empty and purposeless rooftops of the City, one by one, from vacant spaces, into elegant and functional gardens and farms.
You can help by starting a roof farm or a mini farm on your terrace, balcony, or outdoor space. Inner City Farms will help with installation or advice! We are also interested in helping anyone in need who wants to feel the healing effects of growing food and flowers.
