Braddock Farms is entering its third 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 Grow Pittsburgh's  largest demonstration farm.

The vegetable production relies on raised bed construction, intensive planting techniques, and all-organic methods of growing. Flowers are also grown at a neighboring site and offered for sale.  This summer Braddock Farms will grow a wide variety of vegetables and herbs, sell produce to local restaurants, and manage a farmer's market right next to Bell's Market on Braddock Ave.

"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 long-term goal of Braddock Farms is to create an operation that is self-sustaining through the sale of food grown on the site.

Braddock Farms has the potential to expand its operations in the near future. Grow Pittsburgh looks 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!
