Join SBN as we tour the Urban Farming Institute (UFI)'s newly restored historic Fowler Clark Epstein Farm!
Historic Boston, along with its partners, the Urban Farming Institute, The Trust for Public Land, and North Bennet Street School, recently restored the 1786 Fowler Clark Epstein Farm, transforming the property into UFI's new urban farming headquarters and education center, including classrooms, demonstration kitchen, planting beds, and a farm stand.
Come learn how UFI is using Fowler Clark Epstein Farm to create healthy places and healthy people through training, education, research, and development. After the tour, you will be able to taste produce grown fresh from the farm!
Date: August 15th
Time: Join us at 5:30pm for casual networking with UFI, SBN members, and others engaged in the local food system. The farm tour will begin at 6:00pm, and a tasting selection will follow of produce grown directly from the farm!
Location: 487 Norfolk St, Mattapan, MA 02126
About UFI:
The Urban Farming Institute was founded in 2011 out of a global vision for a better food system and the local experience of neighborhood residents in Roxbury, Dorchester and Mattapan. They foresaw the challenges to a thriving urban agriculture industry in Boston: farmer training, land access, public education and policy.
The Urban Farming Institute brings its vision of a just food system into neighborhoods where it creates partnerships between residents and farmers to create healthy places and healthy people. And UFI continues to honor its local roots in the leaders, staff and participants of the program.
