ABOUT THE TOUR

The 9th annual Pittsburgh Urban Farm Tour is a self-guided experience that offers participants the opportunity to explore Pittsburgh's urban farm locations and witness their crucial contributions. These farms not only educate community members on food cultivation but also work towards purifying the environment, ensuring access to fresh local produce, and transforming neglected areas into vibrant green spaces.

Urban farms play a crucial role in our food system, local economy, and urban landscape. To support the farmers managing these sites, it is essential to provide them with the necessary resources and funding for success. Proceeds from the Farm Tour support participating sites and the Urban Growers Scholarship Fund. This fundraising event offers tickets on a sliding scale, allowing everyone to contribute generously based on their capacity.

We are currently accepting applications for sites interested in hosting this year’s Farm Tour Series.

The Farm Tour connects community members, policymakers, and partners directly with urban agricultural sites across our region.

Host sites have the opportunity to:

  • Showcase their work and impact

  • Highlight policy and funding needs

  • Connect with new supporters

  • Contribute to raising funds for the Urban Growers Scholarship Fund
