Cultivate Kansas City
Cultivate Kansas City (formerly the Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture) is a locally-grown non-profit that helps people grow and eat good food in city neighborhoods.
Our work covers three areas – FOOD + FARMS + COMMUNITY.
Food – We grow it. YOU eat it. Our produce is fresh, local, certified organic, and it tastes great.
Farms – We help YOU grow food. You feed your family, your neighborhood, or a local restaurant. Your food nourishes our community.
Community – We educate OUR CITY to make the connection between real food, good health, and vibrant communities. We cultivate growers, customers, volunteers, and donors who live this vision.
Food + Farms + Community = healthy lives, a strong local economy, and a more sustainable future. Join us as we, together, Cultivate Kansas City.
