Welcome
As a society, we have become dangerously disconnected from the land and the
sources of food that sustain life. We have detached ourselves from the real
source of wealth - a respectful and reverent relationship with the land.
In 1997, Brother Rick Samyn felt a calling to start a garden at his
workplace, the Capuchin Soup Kitchen. The response was overwhelming and
positive. That small plot of land grew into what is our Urban Farm project
today.
Earthworks Urban Farm seeks to restore our connection to the environment and
community in keeping with the tradition of our spiritual patron, St. Francis. It
is a working study in social justice and in knowing the origin of the food we
eat
This project relies on the gracious donations of time from volunteers and
materials from sponsors. Neighbors and friends of all ages, incomes and faiths
join us in our work. We hope that you will visit us and see what a special
project Earthworks Urban Farm has become.
