Next season
Starts now

Right now, Reservoir Community Farm is resting. The beds are covered, the Farmers Market Stand is packed away, and the young people who farmed with us this summer are back in school.

Next season is already being decided, though. It’s decided by the people who give in winter.

Why this farm matters

Reservoir Community Farm grows on 1.7 acres of public land in Bridgeport that was once a strip mall. It sits in neighborhoods shaped by food apartheid, often called a food desert, where fresh food is hard to find and harder to afford. The farm puts organic produce back within reach. This year it grew and shared nearly twice as much food as ever before.

Green Village Initiative’s mission is to grow food, knowledge, leadership, and community through urban gardening and farming to create a more just food system in Bridgeport. You make that possible.
