What is HEAL?
Our HEAL programs help families access locally grown, pesticide-free produce while building the knowledge and tools to take charge of their own health. By combining fresh food, education, and hands-on community events, we connect personal well-being with environmental and community health.
Healing begins with recognizing that harm exists in our bodies, our neighborhoods, and our planet and that we must work together to restore balance and well-being.
At Urban Tilth, we are dedicated to helping communities heal from the harms caused by food insecurity and environmental neglect. Our mission goes beyond recovery. We aim to empower communities to thrive in lasting health and abundance.
In areas like North Richmond, where food deserts are prominent, it is important to offer our communities in need with real, quality, long-term options, because if we don’t, chronic health diseases will continue to plague our city, especially for BIPOC and other marginalized populations.
Together, we are rebuilding a regional food system that keeps food local, honest, and nourishing for people and the planet.
Join Our CSA!
Our CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) program connects local families with fresh, sustainably grown produce through three community-driven programs. From free to pay-it-forward options, each bag is designed to make fresh, local food accessible to everyone.
And don’t forget, you can get our produce bags prescribed to you by doctors as well through our Veggie RX program!
Free Farm Stands
Our Free Farm Stands bridge the gap in food access by offering bags of free, local produce to Richmond residents.
With five locations across Richmond, we bring healthy, organic food directly to neighborhoods that lack grocery stores or fresh produce options.
Recipes and Herb Directory
Our recipe collection and herb directory features nutritious, affordable meals and the healing properties of herbs grown at our farm and gardens.
Whether you’re learning to cook with fresh produce or discovering how herbs can support your well-being, these resources are designed to help you eat healthier and live more intentionally.
