About Our Farm
Real Food Farm is Civic Works’ innovative urban agricultural enterprise engaged in growing fresh produce on eight acres in northeast Baltimore. Since breaking ground in October 2009, the farm has been busy growing food, educating youth, partnering with community organizations, and bringing more real food to northeast Baltimore neighborhoods. The farm utilizes both high tunnels and open fields to grow seasonal produce on two different sites: Clifton Park and Perlman Place. In addition to growing annual farmers’ market standards such as tomatoes, eggplant, peppers, spinach, etc., Real Food Farm also experiments with a handful of perennial crops such as mushrooms, fruit trees, berries, and more.
Mission
To work toward a just and sustainable food system by improving neighborhood access to healthy food, providing experience-based education, and developing an economically viable, environmentally responsible local agriculture sector.
