Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve been hearing a lot of buzz about Hilltop Urban Farm! When did you officially open?
We are proud that Hilltop Urban Farm is generating the attention of media and individuals alike! In 2019, our Youth Farm, public education, volunteer events, and tree planting opportunities opened to the public. The first class of farmers in training began growing on the land in 2019.
Where is Hilltop Urban Farm located and when are you open?
