Easton Urban Farm
Cultivating healthy community through urban farming
Easton Urban Farm
The Easton Urban Farm is part of daily life at the Neighborhood Center: a working space where food is grown, people gather, and community takes shape.
Right here in the neighborhood, we grow fresh food that is shared through our pantry and community distribution sites, helping ensure that families, children, and seniors have consistent access to healthy, culturally relevant food. Each season, the farm produces thousands of pounds of fruits, vegetables, and herbs that stay within the community.
EUF is led by our Farm Manager Kate Taylor and supported by volunteers, youth interns, and community members who help plant, tend, and harvest throughout the season.
But the farm isn’t just about production. It’s a place where people spend time, learn new skills, and get involved in the work.
Learning and Participation
The farm offers hands-on opportunities for people to learn and take part.
Youth internships provide experience in growing food, working as a team, and building practical skills. Community members learn gardening techniques they can use at home, whether in a backyard, a shared space, or a container garden.
With the addition of a greenhouse, we are expanding our ability to grow and share transplants, helping more people grow their own food.

Part of the Neighborhood
For many neighbors -- especially children -- the farm is simply part of the neighborhood.
Kids stop by after school, snack on what’s growing, and help out with small tasks. These everyday interactions make fresh food more familiar and create a sense that the space belongs to the community.
The farm is also used for programs like Art in the Garden, as well as workshops and small events. These activities bring people together in a setting that feels open and accessible.
Shared Work
Community work days and volunteer opportunities allow people to take part in maintaining and shaping the farm. Volunteers, partners, and residents all play a role in keeping the space active and productive.
This shared effort helps strengthen connections and keeps the farm rooted in the community it serves.
Volunteer opportunities are available for individuals and groups throughout the season. Whether you have experience or are just getting started, there’s a place for you here.
