Urban Harvest STL builds community around inclusive and resilient local food systems.
Urban Harvest STL believes in food rights - all members of our community should have equitable access to fresh, healthy food regardless of socioeconomic status, race or location. We grow healthy produce across a network of urban farms in the heart of St. Louis and donate the majority of the harvest to nonprofit partners serving communities with limited or non-existent access to healthy, nutritious food. Urban Harvest STL also educates and engages the surrounding community in these efforts.
Urban Harvest STL is conceived as an organization by founder Mary Ostafi. It is incorporated as a 501(c)3 nonprofit later that year.
