Garfield Community Farms

Garfield Community Farm (GCF) is a small, place-based nonprofit nestled in the heart of Pittsburgh’s Garfield neighborhood. Over the past decade, GCF has been restoring nearly three acres of abandoned and degraded urban land to become one of Pittsburgh’s most productive and active urban farms. The majority of Garfield residents are Black and face compounding challenges such as racialized oppression, high poverty rates, and environmental degradation. In response to this, GCF strives to advance food sovereignty, environmental justice, and neighborhood resiliency in the Garfield community. We do this by increasing access to fresh produce and educational opportunities with our neighbors and volunteers and demonstrating ecological restoration through urban agriculture. Our approach to permaculture is equally focused on Earth Care and People Care - striving to work with ecological systems that bring abundance to earth and humanity.
