Established in 2004 in the Excelsior neighborhood of San Francisco, the Farm is Urban Sprouts’ flagship site where our educational model was developed and continues to thrive. The Farm is the hub for our paid internship and job readiness programs, which enable young people in San Francisco to receive garden-based education, gain healthy cooking skills, build community, and learn the job and life skills they need to succeed.
This diverse 1-acre urban farm has an orchard, flower field, honey bees, chickens, a duck, native plants and pollinator gardens, medicinal and culinary herb gardens, a greenhouse, an off the grid solar kitchen and our most robust food production operations.
The Parklab Community Garden is a partnership between Mission Bay Development Group and Urban Sprouts that provides a dynamic urban green space dedicated to increasing the health and wellness of the Mission Bay community. The Garden offers due-based memberships which allow access to a garden plot and just about everything a new or seasoned gardener needs to grow. The Garden features shade structures, gathering spaces, an outdoor workshop, tool shed and more. The Garden also hosts events and classes that are open to the public. We want this to be a place where everyone can gather in community and feel welcome, safe and nourished. Sign up for waitlist today!
Urban Sprouts began working with the Sunnydale community in 2014 to provide our garden-based, food and environmental justice programming to San Francisco’s largest public housing community. The Sunnydale Community Gardens Project was formed to increase the urban green space within the community, increase local food production, and support and grow the network of backyard gardeners. Urban Sprouts operates three distinct food producing gardens in Sunnydale that provide fresh produce to the community free of charge. Sunnydale is also home to our adult job readiness program and weekly nutrition programs.
