Care Farming Network

Location
Columbus, Ohio

Franklinton Farms envisions a neighborhood and food system that respects, celebrates and values the land, all people, and community.

Franklinton Farms is a highly productive urban farm and education nonprofit located just west of downtown Columbus, Ohio. Our mission is to nourish neighborhood wellbeing and connection through farming, gardening, and education. After beginning in 2007 as a community garden, we are now a prominent provider of sustainable urban agriculture, therapeutic gardening education, safe natural spaces, ecological beautification, and fresh food access.

We are a 15-year-old urban farm located in the heart of Central City. Our programs include a CSA, farmers market sales, and a reduced-price produce program for local seniors. We host a youth learner’s garden, maintain a pick-your-own donation garden for the community, and recently established a Veterans Therapy Garden to support veterans through farm-based engagement.
