Cincy Urban Farm began in Sharonville with a clear conviction: that high-quality, nutrient-dense food can be grown close to where people live, and that farming when rooted in care for land and people can strengthen communities from the inside out. What started as an experiment in growing food at home and partnering with neighbors to grow food on underutilized residential lawns has evolved into a focused and resilient farm built on long-term relationships, practical experience, and stewardship of place. Today, the farm operates from two primary locations. Ourhome base in Sharonvilleremains the operational hub, housing the nursery, microgreen operation, prep station, field plots, and a high tunnel dedicated to plant propagation and early- and late-season production. In 2018, the farm expanded through a long-term partnership atEll Farm, established after connecting with land steward Wanda Ell during one of her visits to the Sharonville Library.  That connection grew into a meaningful partnership, and Ell Farm is now home to two 30’ × 96’ high tunnels alongside in-field vegetable production, significantly increasing seasonal capacity and production reliability. Together, these sites allow Cincy Urban Farm to grow food both under cover and in the field, extending the growing season, increasing resilience to weather variability, and ensuring a consistent supply of fresh, high-quality produce for local markets and CSA members. This diversified production model has proven both economically viable and ecologically responsible. All produce is grown using natural, chemical-free methods. The farm does not use synthetic fertilizers, herbicides, or pesticides. Instead, it prioritizes soil health, close crop observation, and human-scale practices that build long-term land productivity, reduced external inputs, and produce nutrient-dense food. Cincy Urban Farm’s mission is to produce the highest-quality fruits and vegetables while operating a financially sustainable farm that pays fair wages, supports the local economy, and contributes to a resilient regional food system. Through disciplined small-scale agriculture and strong land partnerships, the farm demonstrates that thoughtful management, not scale alone, creates lasting environmental, economic, and community value. That entire communities can be transformed from the inside out… from bust and blight to thriving and sustainable places to raise the next generation. People can thrive in almost any place if they have hope, a caring community, and some basic building blocks to grow from. Humans have tremendous capacity to create value from minimal resources, a good teacher, and a reason to participate – a hope for a better future. That a sustainable community is one that has local food & water security, freedom,  abundant local opportunity,  and has the capacity to produce a positive value from within.  Then finally a sustainable community does not inhibit future generations
