Growing Power

Growing Power has established itself as a key player in urban agriculture, with its model program, the Growing Power Community Food Center, situated on the last remaining farm in Milwaukee. This center has become a beacon for urban farming, showcasing a variety of agricultural practices and serving as a hub for community engagement and education.

The farm integrates a multitude of agricultural techniques including vermiculture, aquaculture, aquaponics, hydroponics, and horticulture. Outside, permaculture principles guide the cultivation of market gardens, while chickens, goats, and bees contribute to a holistic farming ecosystem.

Visitors can engage with the farm through community food system training, farm tours, internships, and the weekly purchase of affordable fresh food. The center serves as a living classroom, demonstrating the viability and benefits of urban agriculture.
