What is Urban Roots?
Now in our fourth year, Urban Roots is a youth development program that uses sustainable agriculture as a means to transform the lives of young people and increases the access of healthy food in Austin. By growing sustainably farmed vegetables, young people work together to serve the community, cultivate farming and business skills, learn the value of meaningful work, and discover how to eat and cook in healthy ways.
Urban Roots in the Movies
University of Texas Journalism student, Axel Gerdau created a new video on Urban Roots, weaving Farm Intern interviews with beautiful images from the farm. Check it out!
You can find two other videos by Meals on Wheels and More and the Capitol Area Food Bank that highlight the Urban Roots' hunger relief work at our News Page.
Urban Roots Wishlist
The Urban Roots Farm is always in need of tools and supplies. If you can donate any of the following things, we will do a little dance for you next time we see you! If you are not sure what is best to donate, we can always use gift certificates from Johnny's Seeds, Callahan's General Store, Home Depot, or an office supply store like Office Max.
