The Urban Farm
The urban farm is written into the bylaws of the Pringle Creek Community and enhances property values, quality of life, and a sense of community.
The farm is managed by our on-staff Urban Farmer and a team of neighborhood volunteers.
Fresh organic produce is provided to neighbors at no additional cost.
