Sustainable Berea is a group of citizens of Berea KY whose mission is to increase local food security and build community through urban agriculture.

 

Founded in 2005, Sustainable Berea is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that provides education – workshops, demonstrations, presentations, videos, literature – and material support such as seeds, starts, raised beds and fruit trees to households wishing to grow some of their own food.

 

The centerpiece of our work is the Berea Urban Farm, a 1.4-acre educational market garden. 

 

Our outreach programs include the annual Victory Garden Blitz, Backyard Beekeepers, Backyard Fruit Growers Project, Berea Urban Agriculture District, the Berea Herb Club, and the Agri-Culture Garden.
