Available Local Organic Produce
Healthy, flavorful food begins with good farming—where respect for the land nurtures both the soil and the harvest.
At Meacham Urban Farm, our ethos centers on growing the highest quality, nutrient-dense food with sustainable farming practices that prioritize soil health and work in harmony with nature. We use a permanent bed system to minimize soil disturbance and manage our crops with mechanical cultivation, organic fertilizers, cover cropping, crop rotations, and integrated pest management. This approach ensures that our produce is free from pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers, resulting in food that is as flavorful and nutrient-rich as it is environmentally responsible.
