Hilltop Urban Farm is set to transform the land it currently occupies. Given its size, scope, and reach, it will ultimately become the largest urban farm in the United States and serve as a resource for urban farming initiatives. Sign up to tour the Urban Farm to see what it’s all about and how we can permanently protect this community asset for our city’s benefit!

ALT is raising awareness and funds to permanently protect Hilltop Urban Farm’s land so they can continue their impact and investments in providing space to grow food and enjoy the outdoors. Your ticket proceeds support this effort!

Together, we’ll walk the farm to learn about where it started, what it has already accomplished, who participates and benefits from the operations, and how we can all support a vibrant, healthy, growing future for HUF. We’ll enjoy some Jackworth Ginger Beer as we walk the grounds and mingle on the farm.
