Foodlink Community Garden
Expanding an urban farm to serve a diverse neighborhood and surrounding community.
The Foodlink Community Farm is the largest urban farm in the Rochester region. The non-profit organization has long invested in a formerly vacant lot to create a growing space for low-income and new American community members. To continue to support the community, more raised beds are being installed and they’re adding a new Edible Education Center and greenhouse. This expansion allows Foodlink to host an additional 50 families and grow approximately 5,000 additional pounds of food. The 1,800-square-foot greenhouse will enable year-round growing, and the 1,500-square-foot Edible Education Center will host workshops, events, and educational programming for local schools.
