Harlem Grown is an independent, non-profit organization whose mission is to inspire youth to lead healthy and ambitious lives through mentorship and hands-on education in urban farming, sustainability, and nutrition. Founded in 2011, we operate local urban farms, increase access to and knowledge of healthy food for Harlem residents, and provide garden-based development programs to Harlem youth.

hours: Volunteer days are held every Saturday from 11AM to 3PM between the months of April and November, at our main farm on 118 West 134th Street, between Lenox Ave and Adam Clayton Powell Jr. Blvd. The closest subway stop is the 2/3 at 135 Street. Individual volunteers and families do not need to pre-register for these volunteer days -- just drop in!
