"My family has participated at The Urban Farm in a variety of ways for several years, and I can easily say that TUF has been an important enrichment to our lives. My kids have attended summer camps twice when they were in kindergarten and first grade. At those camps my son discovered a love of animals and then decided to enroll in the weekly program that allows him to go and care for his favorite animals throughout the year. Those programs have been an important source of identity for my son for 3+ years, he sees himself as a chicken lover as one of his core traits. Additionally, our family has a garden plot in the community garden. Working in the garden is grounding, soul-satisfying, and a great source of delicious healthy produce. All of these resources are so amazing because we are not able to keep pets or livestock at home and our yard is too small for substantial gardening. Thank you, Urban Farm for bringing so much joy into our lives!" Jane D
"My daughter has been participating in almost every animal activity at the farm for the last 10 years. We couldn't be happier. She currently cares for the horses and participates in their 4H goat and sheep club. I highly recommend the farm if your kiddo loves animals." Katy G
"the farm has become our little escape from city life and a fun place f both kids and adults. the staff is sweet and loving. birthdays at the farm are wonderful and their classes and camps are fun and educational. we love this place!!!" Silvia S
"This is a wonderful place to visit especially with children. You can interact with the farm animals if the staff allow it, and you can buy fresh eggs. They have events as well as the option to celebrate a birthday (and get a more interactive experience). There is also a playground for the children. Friendly place and only $5/person to visit." Talisa D
"This place is a literal dream.
The staff was amazing (Jess specifically, who let us in) and Andrea who works there, who took her entire day off to give us a tour, educate us about the animals, and give us a once in a lifetime experience. She of absolutely amazing
I randomly came across Urban farm, looking for a place to bring my 1.5 year old daughter to see animals, and I am so dang happy to find across this hidden gem.
Thank you, thank you!" Erica C
"Our family has loved being a part of the monthly events at The Urban Farm. Our kids have participated in the Poultry Club and have gained so many new skills, and most importantly confidence. They have learned how to care for the animals and have developed the ability to confidently present and share their knowledge about their chickens.
The staff is all fantastic. They really care about the animals but they also all seem to have backgrounds in working with kids.
We also love how accessible the farm is, right in the heart of the neighborhood, making it easy for families to stay connected to agriculture, animals, and hands-on learning.
Such a wonderful community resource!" Michelle B
"This is a little hidden gem I never knew about. This place is great for adults and kids! Plenty of animals to interact with and the garden is beautiful! I highly recommend this place. Also found out they do birthdays and you can volunteer. The staff is amazing and the animals are well fed and taken care of." Derek O
"We love the farm. My kids love to come hangout or attend their camps and activities. We love the variety of activities and our kids learn about nature while having fun with poultry, horses, rabbits, cows. All the staff are loving to the kids and the animals. It’s our little escape from the city life!!!" Silvia S
My whole family has been coming here for years and we love it so much! The kids enjoy the summer camp and the poultry club. My husband has a garden plot. We love having access to animals, the outdoors, and the wholesome feeling of gardening, which are not possible for us at home since our yard is very small. The events are always a blast, too!"
