Boyd Street Urban Farm

During the Summer of 2004, Cultivating Community Youth Growers, Youth Leaders, staff, community members and numerous volunteers transformed an empty piece of land on Boyd Street into the beginnings of an urban farm.

Since 2004 the farm has grown and now includes an adjacent Community Garden where we rent out plots to members of the Greater Portland community. The Community Garden includes 48 12'X6' beds and free beds are available for New American gardeners and residents of the East Bayside Neighborhood.   Click here for more information and the application for renting a plot.
