Mission
The Farm Alliance of Baltimore is a membership organization of urban farms, neighborhood growers, and friends. We use connection, resource sharing, and collective advocacy with respect to food, land and water to expand communities’ self-determination and power.
History
The idea for a network of Baltimore’s urban farms grew out of informal farmer gatherings and existing collaborations. With help from an Open Society Institute Community Fellowship and a USDA Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education grant, the group began to take shape in fall 2011 with Maya Kosok coordinating the effort.
Our Focus
Today, The Farm Alliance of Baltimore is a nonprofit dedicated to urban agriculture and food justice, comprising a vibrant network of over 40 member farms, community gardens, and growers. Each member contributes to our mission of fostering sustainable urban agriculture and enhancing food sovereignty in Baltimore. By working together, our diverse group shares resources, knowledge, and support, amplifying our impact on the community. Our aim is to empower local farmers, increase access to fresh food, and strengthen community resilience through collaboration and education
