About the Business
The Urban Farming Institute, located at 487 Norfolk Street in Boston, Massachusetts, is a food-focused institution dedicated to building healthy communities through urban farming and food production. The institute recently purchased the historic 1786 Fowler Clark Epstein Farm in Mattapan, which now serves as its headquarters and permanent home. The property includes an educational center, greenhouse, office space, farm stand, classrooms, and teaching kitchen. The institute actively grows a variety of produce on-site, such as okra, collard greens, tomatoes, kale, and callaloo, all in high demand in the community. The UFI extends gratitude to its partners, funders, and supporters for their continued love and generosity. The institute also honors Former State Representative Melvin H. King for his contributions as a founding board member, who believed in and nurtured the concept of urban farming. The UFI aims to empower the community and provide access to fresh, healthy food for all.
