New Urban Farm
3 acre farm under construction, on the grounds of People of Hope Church in Rochester, MN
The Village Agricultural Cooperative has signed a five year lease for the first time in our history!! Long-term land access has been the largest barrier to developing profitable farms, and we are grateful to People of Hope's community for being in mission alignment toward increasing food security in Rochester MN.
Welcome to the Village
The Village Agricultural Cooperative creates opportunities for our communities to produce culturally relevant food. By creating space for public and market gardens in urban areas, we address the health needs of our people and planet while building food systems for future generations, and nourishing our elders too. We believe that sustainable agriculture creates healthy communities.
