The 21 Acres Center is an innovative, community-driven project that will serve as an agricultural and environmental learning center for people of all ages. It is an “agri-urban park” that is accessible to the whole community! 21 Acres includes a bio-diverse farmstead with trails for physical activity, interpretive educational signage, and cultivated farm plots used to demonstrate sustainable and organic farming practices. 21 Acres will educate both young and old about where our food comes from and how locally grown food plays a crucial role in a sustainable lifestyle.

21 Acres is committed to making local, sustainable-grown food a cornerstone of healthy lifestyles and communities. While rapid urbanization in what used to be rural valleys in the regions is putting local farms at risk of disappearing forever, 21 Acres has restored farmland once overgrown with blackberries and other invasive weeds. The land now supports 80 community garden plots and a farm growing food for families, market, schools and hunger relief.

The Center for Local Food and Sustainable Living will feature a cutting-edge "green-built" facility that will feature a year round farmers market, community kitchen and space for its popular classes on urban farming techniques and sustainability-providing vital infrastructure and education to help keep small farms in business.

Our partnerships with various local schools and youth groups provide kids with opportunities for hands-on discovery in an outdoor environment.
