Raleigh City Farm

In 2024, Raleigh City Farm deepened its commitment to regenerative, climate-resilient practices for healthier soil and plants. Despite severe weather, and pest pressure, the farm produced 13,000 pounds of food, donating 6,400 pounds--50% of the total harvest and a 62% increase from 2023--through expanded farmshare partnerships; the remainder was sold at 28 pay-what-you-can farmstands. Nearly 6,000 volunteer hours were logged via 31 private workdays, 38 additional volunteer events, and 2 fundraisers. Education remained key, with 16 farm to camp sessions, 12 private tours, and 11 artist in residence events. The future farms plan & fund was launched and phase one completed with expansion to two adjacent lots, increasing the farm's footprint by 20% and increasing programming and impact.
