2026 Farm Tour

History

The Pittsburgh Urban Farm Tour began in 2017, launched by the East End Food Co-op, PASA Sustainable Agriculture, and the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council to spotlight the growers and gardens that anchor Pittsburgh's neighborhoods. What started as a single ticketed event has grown into an annual self-guided tour spanning dozens of farms across the city, from Braddock to Sheraden.

In 2018, proceeds began seeding the Urban Growers Scholarship Fund, which continues to support professional development for urban growers. The tour has raised thousands of dollars for the fund in the years since. In 2020, the tour adapted to a virtual format during the pandemic, hosting recorded farm visits and live Q&As, and in 2021 it joined a full week of programming for Pennsylvania's Urban Agriculture Week, including workshops and a visit from the PA Secretary of Agriculture.

By 2024, the tour reached its 8th year, presented by the Pittsburgh Food Policy Council, Grow Pittsburgh, Chatham University Food Studies Program, and PASA Sustainable Agriculture, with 14 participating farms and gardens across the city, continuing to offer sliding-scale tickets with proceeds supporting both host sites and the Urban Growers Scholarship Fund.

Each year, the tour has been shaped and hosted with community partners, including Grow Pittsburgh, Chatham University, and dozens of participating farms and gardens, reflecting the growing strength of Pittsburgh's urban agriculture community.
