After over a year in the making, Braddock Farms is in it's second full growing season on a series of abandoned lots in the historic borough of Braddock!

Located on a highly visible portion of the main business corridor, and set against the backdrop of the borough's last remaining steel mill, Braddock Farms is serving as Grow Pittsburgh's newest, large-scale demonstration farm.

The vegetable production will relies on raised bed construction, intensive planting techniques, and all-organic methods of growing. The addition of a site where flowers will be grown is in the works.  This summer Braddock Farms will grow a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, sell produce to local restaurants, and manage an on-site farmer's market.

"My dream is for Braddock to become the center of urban agriculture in the region."
--Mayor John Fetterman

Braddock Farms has received strong support from the Mayor's Office and Braddock Borough Council as a revitalization tool that will create job opportunities, transform vacant land into attractive greenspace, and increase local access to fresh nutritious foods. The farm will also serve as a living laboratory for developing an Farm Systems Training Program. The long-term goal of Braddock Farms is to create an urban farming infrastructure that includes spinoff farms and a farm cooperative.

Braddock Farms is our most ambitious project to date, and we look forward to its growth and development in the years to come. Check back for updates on our progress.

 Braddock Farm is now a WWOOFing site!
