The Berea Urban Farm, a program of Sustainable Berea, is a 1.4-acre educational market garden in the heart of Berea KY. Founded in 2013, the BUF works to increase local food security and community health through urban agriculture. Our work is guided by an understanding that the current food system and the broader economy of which it is a part are not sustainable, and that communities need to develop their own pathways to resilience.
