St. Petersburg welcomes a fresh, vibrant addition to its community: 15th Street Farm, an innovative urban farm located at 342 15th St. N. This nonprofit farm combines education, sustainability, and community-building through its unique offerings. It is dedicated to fostering a deeper connection between people and their food.
At the heart of 15th Street Farm is its half-acre organic farm, where fresh, healthy produce is grown using regenerative practices. The farm’s mission is simple: to teach the importance of food grown carefully, from soil to fork. Alongside the farm, a spacious 2,000-square-foot commercial kitchen and wood-fired brick oven serve as a gathering space for various events designed to engage the public.

But 15th Street Farm’s impact extends far beyond these events. The farm actively supports the local community through several educational initiatives. It has created more than 15 school gardens where students learn hands-on about food production and sustainability.

The farm’s growing methods align with Organic Regenerative Agriculture and Korean Natural Farming principles, according to its website. These sustainable practices prioritize soil health, biodiversity, and long-term ecological balance.
