They are known for their comprehensive approach to urban farming, which includes teaching, growing, and supporting gardens across the region.

Practices

Grow Pittsburgh employs restorative and regenerative practices in their urban farming efforts. They prioritize environmental responsibility, social justice, and food sovereignty, ensuring that their methods support the right of everyone to access, produce, and distribute nutritious and culturally appropriate food. Their educational programs emphasize hands-on opportunities to build individual and community self-sufficiency.

The Rest

They offer a variety of programs, including school gardens, community gardens, and urban farming training. Their values include community participation, fiscal integrity, transparency, equity, and resourcefulness. They make gardening accessible for home, school, and community gardeners and urban farmers, providing affordable sustainably grown fresh fruits and vegetables through farm stands and donations.
