Urbandale Farm Vision Page
Welcome to Urbandale Farm: Cultivating Community, Sustainability, and Innovation
At Urbandale Farm, our vision is simple yet powerful: to create an urban farm that serves as a hub for sustainable agriculture, education, and community-driven change. As part of The Fledge Food Collective, Urbandale is more than just a place to grow food—it’s a living, breathing ecosystem of ideas, collaboration, and innovation.
Our Vision:
We envision Urbandale Farm as a constantly evolving space where the community comes together to learn, grow, and shape our shared future. It’s not just about what we do today, but how we can continue to adapt and meet the changing needs of tomorrow. We believe that when we cultivate the land together, we cultivate our potential—creating a space where everyone has a hand in building a better, more sustainable world.
Our Mission:
Our mission is ever-evolving, and that’s what makes Urbandale so special. We are committed to fostering an environment where:
- Sustainable Farming Thrives: We practice and promote eco-friendly farming techniques, ensuring that our community has access to fresh, locally-grown, organic produce.
- Education Empowers: Through workshops, training programs, and apprenticeships, we provide hands-on learning opportunities in urban farming, sustainable living, and entrepreneurship.
- Community Engagement Grows: At the heart of Urbandale is our commitment to cooperative ownership, where community members actively participate in shaping the farm’s direction and benefit from its success.
- Diverse Voices Lead: We are focused on supporting BIPOC farmers and entrepreneurs, ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to grow and thrive in the agricultural space.
- Innovation Drives Progress: Urbandale is a living lab where we test new farming technologies and methods, exploring innovative ways to make urban agriculture more sustainable and accessible.
Building Our Future Together:
Our mission and vision are rooted in the idea that Urbandale Farm will always grow and change, just as the community around it does. We’re committed to creating a space where everyone feels empowered to contribute to the farm’s success, where every seed planted is a step toward a stronger, more connected future. Whether it’s through cultivating crops, collaborating with local businesses, or teaching the next generation about sustainability, we’re all building our future—together.
