Urban Farms

Though not as pretty as its neighbor down the street, the Small Farm on Starr Street is nonetheless a great community resource. With gates open, a place to sit, and an umbrella overhead, the Small Farm is in many ways the quintessential community garden. Neighbors from up and down Starr Street gather at the small garden to talk with one another and catch up on what’s happening in their community. It is as much a meeting place as a garden.

 
The Starr Street Big Farm is truly a modern day wonder. Such a beautiful garden is hard to imagine right here in New Haven. Another one of our “Urban Farms” this garden, under Robert Wright’s management should be seen as a serious community food resource. But this garden serves the community in other ways. Bob is often has the gates to the garden open with a place for neighbors to sit and have a cool drink making it a community space as well.
