Urban Tilth

Founded in 2005, Urban Tilth cultivates a foodshed in West Contra Costa County to help build a more sustainable, healthy, and just local food system.

Staffed by community youth and drawing on principles of youth development and leadership, we teach, farm, forage, train, and employ residents to increase our food self-sufficiency.

Working with schools, community organizations, government agencies, businesses, and individuals, Urban Tilth has emerged as a local leader, a catalyst drawing together a variety of discrete initiatives into a web of integrated, food- and community-focused efforts.

    Urban Tilth (Richmond) was awarded $35,000 for their Homegrown Experts initiative to engage 30 teens in a six-week summer apprenticeship that connects low-income, urban youth with farms. The program offers 100 hours of paid, hands-on urban agriculture education, vocational training, community service, and employment. Apprentices also spend two weekends working (and camping) on organic local farms owned by farmers of color.
