Mission: Our mission is simple. We Farm to Grow. We grow Food. We grow Community. We grow Leaders.
Results: Youth Farm is entering its 20th year as one of the premier youth development and food organizations in Minnesota. In 2013, Youth Farm was named one of the top nonprofits in the State of Minnesota by a community of experts in two distinct categories: 1) Outstanding Nonprofits for support of at-risk Youth, and 2) Most impactful food organizations in the state. Additionally, Youth Farm was recognized by the City of Minneapolis and the Minneapolis Food Council with the “Homegrown Hero” award in 2013 for our outstanding work with youth and local food. While we are honored to be on both of these lists, the main take away for us is that we are having impact in the two biggest categories of our work, Youth and Food. For two decades, we have continued to improve our work every day!

We farm to educate and train through gardens and greenhouses. We cultivate leadership through planting, growing, preparing and selling the food we grow. We live in and work in vibrant and diverse Minneapolis neighborhoods of Lyndale, Powderhorn and Hawthorne as well as Frogtown and the West Side neighborhoods of St. Paul.
