About
Real Food Farm (RFF) is Civic Works’ (Baltimore’s urban service corps and an AmeriCorps program dedicated to building a future for Baltimore’s youth through community service and skills development) new urban agriculture enterprise, located on six acres of Clifton Park in northeast Baltimore. RFF uses sustainable farming methods to grow fresh fruits and vegetables to address the community’s food access issues and promote agriculture as an economic opportunity for Baltimore.
Project Overview
Develop and design ways for Real Food Farm to increase public awareness of and demand for the farm’s products within the five surrounding communities, and to create overall support of the farm’s weekly mobile markets. Early in the project, the team realized there were several ways to increase neighborhood food access:
- Making real food available and affordable
- Creating demand for real food
- Raising awareness of Real Food Farm and its mobile markets
- Integrating the farm into the community
- Becoming sustainable and profitable
- Increasing the volunteer base
- Providing education/youth job training
