The Last Organic Outpost is an inner city urban farm project using regenerative agriculture to restore the fertility of unused land. This urban farm is breaking new ground on many fronts:
- Experimenting with nutrient-rich crops from similar climates around the world with the intent to create an international, year-round harvest.
- Acquainting urban youths and their elders with the age-old tradition of planting, harvesting and working the soil.
- Integrating agriculture and art in a fresh, new venue for local artists that nourishes the soul as well as the body.
- Creating an anchor for an urban farm belt that we hope will spread throughout the city, providing volunteer opportunities and hyper-local, all natural produce for its neighborhoods.
- Offering a teaching environment where people from all walks of life learn together buy doing.
- Establishing a close-knit community among a diverse and far-reaching population.
- Giving residents a healthy alternative to supplement their diets by volunteering and being paid in crops.
