URBAN HARVEST STL EMPOWERS COMMUNITIES TO CULTIVATE EQUITABLE ACCESS TO HEALTHY, SUSTAINABLY GROWN FOOD AND ENHANCE BIODIVERSITY IN CITIES
Urban Harvest STL builds community around inclusive and resilient local food systems.
FOOD ROOF Farm, the first rooftop farm in St. Louis, Missouri, USA, is a model for urban agriculture, sustainable building, stormwater management and community development. Not your typical farm, Urban Harvest STL led the collaboration of architects, landscape architects, green roof experts, horticulturalists, structural engineers, agronomists and urban farmers to create this internationally recognized project. This exciting 8,500 square foot rooftop is a dynamic example of a green infrastructure, and so much more. For example, the FOOD ROOF farm design is proven to capture up to 17,000 gallons of stormwater per storm event resulting in the reduction and mitigation of stormwater runoff issues in downtown St. Louis.
We partner with the Flance Early Learning Center to cultivate and maintain an integrated schoolyard garden that features 20 raised garden beds with integrated sensory garden components, a picnic area, and composting site. As a multifaceted project, the garden serves as a farming and nutrition based educational platform; sources fresh, healthy produce directly to the center's cafeteria; and provides an interactive green space in a once underutilized lot.
In partnership with the William A. Kerr Foundation, we are converting their sedum green roof into a thriving FOOD ROOF featuring one hydroponic tower, 35 modular smart pots, 6 railing planters and 1 edible living wall. On behalf of the Foundation, we donate the produce grown at the Kerr FOOD ROOF to the McMurphy's Cafe of the St. Patrick Center.
