The St. Pete Youth Farm is a welcoming place where young people develop important life skills. This urban farm project encourages creative thinking and personal growth as students learn everything from growing their own food to financial literacy. Through this youth development program, they support the next generation of leaders and entrepreneurs.

USF’s St. Petersburg Campus won a $25,000 grant from the Ford Foundation to start a greenhouse project in partnership with St. Pete Youth Farm and other local organizations to fight food insecurity within the community by growing fresh produce all year long right in the South St. Pete CRA.

St. Pete Youth Farm will be the home of this hydroponic greenhouse project, and it’s scheduled to be up and running around Summer 2021.
