Faulkner County Urban Farm Project

Description

The Urban Farming Project began in the spring of 2010 as a gardening competition between Conway’s three colleges. As students and professors turned a grassy yard into a blossoming vegetable garden, it became clear that this was no competition, but a collaborative effort towards a greater good. Through natural, local food production, this garden is an effort to foster sustainability and a sense of community in Conway.

Now, students and families meet together to learn how to grow food. Most of the food is donated to a local food bank. We have a yearly festival to celebrate keeping food production local and sustainable.
