About the Farm
Bon Secours Urban Farm is a non-profit farm dedicated to improving health outcomes in 21223. We serve our community by focusing on youth gardening, nutrition education, food distribution, and a mobile farmer’s market. The farm sits on a 1/8-acre that was previously 14 vacant lots. The site now contains a nursery, 2 hoop houses, and a community garden.
Our efforts are made possible through our partnership with Future Baltimore.
