Eden Farms is an agricultural learning center and farm dedicated to supporting the economy of fresh local foods. Join us for an open house and informational on how your farm or business can participate in a pilot program aimed at increasing the purchasing of brokered harvests for the 2024 growing season.

Fuller Park Community Developments vision is to curate and organize local urban growers to strengthen individual farms and build an organization that has more leverage in selling to local grocery stores and providing jobs to local area residents.

Members will benefit by pooling their resources, becoming stronger together. This gives the network the ability to provide larger volumes of agricultural commodities to meet the demands of retail. Consolidation of resources creates a logistical framework that benefits growers by having an end buyer for crops/commodities, streamlining plantings sharing technical expertise and even labor.
