New City Neighbors is a non-profit organization based in the Creston neighborhood of Grand Rapids. Its primary mission is “empowering youth to reach their full potential” with a vision of “growing neighborhood leaders”, and values that focus on being youth centered while practicing radical hospitality and holistic ministry. Every summer, the organization provides high school students with employment opportunities to provide career and life skills by working on their farm and cafe in addition to participating in a curriculum that teaches job skills, food justice, anti-racism, and food & faith. Their produce feeds up to 250 families through their Community Share Agriculture (CSA) program. They provide various farm share sizes available per season for pickup and are one of the only farms in West Michigan to accept EBT payment. New City Neighbors also has partnerships with several Good Food Partners that collect their extra produce to disperse to families in need. Additionally, the curriculum for New City Neighbors Urban Farm is to reduce, reuse and recycle. Urban farming is a great way to teach food cultivation and gardening in urban areas that may not have access to fresh and locally grown foods.
