Tiny Fields Project Inc

We build stronger communities through agriculture

The Tiny Fields Project uses boulevards and alleys in Minneapolis to teach communities to grow and use vegetables. Each participating household receives a kit with enough seed and seedlings to plant a 5ft x 11ft space, volunteer help tilling for the first season, and instructions on how to plant and maintain their Tiny Field in a sustainable manner. Families then follow along on social media and learn as their garden grows. 

Gardeners spend time in community spaces, providing opportunity to connect neighbor to neighbor.
