Urban Patchwork
Urban Patchwork (UP) is an urban farm incubator that helps Austinites build community-organized food networks and neighborhood farms to increase access to fresh food in the urban setting. UP educates and mentors neighbors across the region to become good stewards of their land, their health, and their communities.
Our programs have a far-reaching impact in both the short term and long term. Systems we design and teach set a precedent for how we, as an urban society, can change our relationship with the environment, with our food systems and with each other.

Urban Patchwork focuses on providing locally and sustainably grown food at an affordable price. We convert lawns into food producing space using farming methods that are healthy for the environment and for us. We never use chemical herbicides, pesticides or genetically modified seeds. Distribution cycles exist on the micro-level using pedal power when possible.
