Urban Edge Farm

In 2002, as part of the State of Rhode Island's Open Space Preservation Act, a 50 acre farm (Urban Edge Farm) in western Cranston was purchased and preserved. SCLT is managing the property for the State and restoring it to active farmland.

 

Just 8 miles from our south Providence office, Urban Edge Farm is an ideal site for growing produce, educating new entry farmers and the public. Urban Edge Farm is a model farm demonstrating environmentally sound land stewardship and farming practices.

 

The farm hosts new farmers who are members of our Farm Business Incubator program in addition to interns, volunteers and various fundraisers and public events. The food grown at Urban Edge Farm feeds Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shareholders, Farmers' Market customers, and diners at local restaurants, soup kitchens and food pantries.
