What is Jones Valley Urban Farm?

Jones Valley Urban Farm is a non-profit project in the heart of Birmingham, Alabama that promotes sustainable agriculture and alternative land-use. We have developed three vacant lots into production organic farms working with the neighborhood, high school students, and volunteers.

Our produce and flowers are sold to local restaurants and at farmers’ markets to partially support the project. We have developed an accredited high school science course in conjunction with the Alabama School of Fine Arts and a nutrition-based field trip called Seed 2 Plate. Come out to the farm and become a part of our community.
