DC URBAN GREENS INC

Mission Statement

At DC UrbanGreens we increase accessibility of affordable healthy foods to residents living in DC's food desert neighborhoods. We employ innovative and scalable methods, techniques and business models to implement small-scale urban agriculture in a fiscally and environmentally sustainable way. We lessen household food insecurity, strengthen community self-reliance and increase our children’s ability to grow and learn. Our food is grown in DC's Ward 7 and 8, right in the neighborhoods that need it most. Low income areas lacking easy access to grocery stores. Our mission is to feed bodies, nourish minds & build communities in DC's food deserts.
