Here at New Urban Farmers we are dedicated to the renewal of farming throughout Pawtucket and Central Falls. From community gardens to riverside mills. It is our belief that the community that grows together - GROWS together! Through a small system of satellite farms within the city - not only can we grow food but we can rebuild our community - Growing minds is our job - what grows from there is limitless! Please come to visit soon and see what we can all do to grow our own food, in our own spaces, all year long.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr Backs Vertical Farming
