Our Mission: To connect and nourish our community through regenerative agriculture. Our Vision: A healthy community supporting the next generation of farmers. Raleigh City Farm is a nonprofit urban farm founded in 2011 on a formerly vacant one-acre lot in downtown Raleigh. 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 are committed to the following NICE Core Values that guide the culture of RCF: Nutrition - Championing the importance of growing accessible and affordable local food. Innovation - Cultivating the entrepreneurial spirit and sustainable practices of farmers to protect and steward the land. Collaboration - Building partnerships that increase our mission impact and strengthen bonds of community and trust. Equity - Addressing the deep roots of racial and gender inequities and injustice through promoting and supporting economic equity for farmers in NC.
