Common Roots Urban Farm

Common Roots Urban Farm (CRUF) is a community garden and productive green space. Its mission is “to promote healthy lifestyles and landscapes through hands-on education about growing and eating healthy food.” Their model encompasses three levels of involvement: market gardens for knowledgeable farmers, community gardens for recreational use, and the commons for people who want to sample the harvest. These everyday interactions are vital for a garden to develop knowledge transfer among the experienced, recreational, and occasional farmers and to promote the practice of urban agriculture in our cities.
