Welcome
Welcome to Urban Patchwork, a neighborhood-based urban farm network deep in the heart of Austin, TX.
We are a neighborhood-based community organization dedicated to providing safe, accessible foods grown close to home while offering farmers job opportunities that help their families and our local economy thrive.
Most fruits, vegetables and eggs sold in stores are designed for their ability to withstand industrial harvesting equipment, synthetic chemicals, extended travel and storage. “Food” is processed beyond recognition and lacks critical nutrients that keep us out of the doctors’ offices.
At the same time we are learning the true expense of industrialized food, we are busier than ever and paychecks seem to be shrinking. How do we eat fresh, healthy food when costs continue to rise? How do we learn what’s good for us when we’re blasted with so much confusing information from big food industries?
We find answers to these concerns and questions when communities work alongside farmers to grow local, fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and grains right in the city using methods that reduce costs, restore the environment and provide an abundance of safe, fresh food for everyone.
The pages of this site take you on a journey with us through our farms. Join us as we connect better with the places we live and the food we eat. Come by for a visit, and see what’s growing!
