"Harvesting Health: Empower the Bronx with Urban Farming"

In the heart of the Bronx—a vibrant community rich in culture, diversity, and resilience—many families struggle with accessing fresh, nutritious food. This reality contributes significantly to diet-related illnesses like obesity, diabetes, and heart disease. At the Center for Food as Medicine (CFAM), we’re committed to changing this story by turning food into a powerful tool for health and community well-being.

Our Vision: Sustainable Urban Farming at 1932 Arthur Avenue

CFAM is launching an innovative, state-of-the-art hydroponic urban farm at 1932 Arthur Avenue this spring. Hydroponics enables us to grow fresh vegetables, herbs, and leafy greens in nutrient-rich water without soil, providing nutritious produce year-round right in our own neighborhood. This approach makes urban farming sustainable, efficient, and uniquely suited for densely populated communities like ours.

With your help, this hydroponic farm will produce nearly 20,000 of pounds of fresh, healthy food annually, directly improving the nutrition, health, and quality of life for countless Bronx families.

Why Your Support Matters

Your donation goes directly toward:

Building and Sustaining the Farm: Funding essential hydroponic equipment, supplies, and ongoing maintenance to ensure sustainable operation.
