Since its inception, it has focused on food justice, education, and community engagement, distributing over half of its harvest to neighbors facing food insecurity. The organization has also been a thought leader in urban agriculture, participating in local food advocacy and pioneering programs to expand the market for locally-grown food.

The farm is dedicated to sustainable stewardship, transforming underutilized land into productive spaces while respecting cultural heritage. They focus on restorative and educational farming practices, ensuring equitable access to fresh produce and fostering lifelong learning among staff and community members.

They are committed to equity, acknowledging the historical and ongoing impact of structural racism in the food system. The farm is also an active participant in the broader urban agriculture and sustainability movement, engaging the community through events, social media, and educational programs.
