History
Urban Roots began as a program of another youth development nonprofit to empower and develop Austin youth and promote healthy lifestyle choices. Urban Roots' innovative approach of employing youth to grow fresh, healthy food in the heart of an underserved neighborhood while empowering their development as leaders and good citizens proved to be a powerful concept.
Specialties
Urban Roots uses sustainable agriculture as a means to transform the lives of young people and increase access to healthy food in Austin. Our produce is available at the SFC Farmers' market Downtown. We have volunteer opportunities on the farm Tuesday and Thursday mornings and Community Volunteer Days on some Saturdays. Please check out the website or contact us for more information.
