Raleigh City Farm is a nonprofit, urban farm in downtown Raleigh that emerged in 2011 from a previously vacant one-acre lot.
They are being recognized with the Triangle NC Cares Award for October, supported by the Ricci Law Firm.
"We believe in the power of urban farms to create healthier communities and reconnect city dwellers with healthy food production through more frequent encounters with agriculture. We believe that turning vacant lots into productive, nourishing farmland can create something from nothing - an amenity from an eyesore.
We invite our community to "dig in" and advance our mission by signing up for a workshop, taking a tour, attending a special event, and volunteering to help maintain our farm site."
