What's EATS?

EATS is a new generation in urban farming that transforms overlooked and underused resources in urban communities into low-cost, high yield, year-round community farms and food distribution systems.

Because everybody should be able to eat fresh, healthy, nutritious food


EATS makes it possible for everyone to eat good food regardless of income or personal circumstances. Here’s how…
  • EATS increases the supply of healthy food by growing fruits & vegetables in the urban communities where they are consumed.
  • EATS uses farming techniques that produce high yields of food in small spaces.
  • EATS creates art & media that ties the benefits of food production & healthy eating to the community’s cultural traditions and well being.
