Neighborhood Farm Initiative

Welcome

The Neighborhood Farm Initiative is a non-profit project of America the Beautiful Fund. NFI's goals are to:

• Improve unused or under-utilized public green space in Washington, D.C., preserving and protecting its use as open, undeveloped land
• Provide a self-sustaining and more reliable educational resource for gardening and small scale organic food production for DC-area residents
• Provide better access to nutritious food in the form of fresh fruits and vegetables for urban neighborhoods and communities
• Create a replicable program that can be used to expand the opportunities for urban agriculture throughout the region
• Increase the number of gardeners in Washington, D.C. leading to more outdoor activities and healthier lifestyles
