Tucson Village Farm is a working urban farm built by and for the youth of our community. A program of the Pima County Cooperative Extension and the University of Arizona, TVF is a seed-to-table program designed to reconnect young people to a healthy food system, teach them how to grow and prepare fresh food, and empower them to make healthy life choices. To accomplish this, Tucson Village Farm offers year-round, instructional, hands-on programs for youth of all ages. We target urban youth from all ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds. The farm, located at 4210 N. Campbell Ave., serves as a safe urban location where youth can come to be out of doors and engage in physical activity while contributing to and participating in local food production, preparation, and consumption.

As a 501 (c) (3) through the University of Arizona Foundation, Tucson Village Farm relies on grants, private donations, and program fees in order to maintain and expand our programming. We have a proven track record of successfully leveraging every dollar in order to continue to bring our much-needed programming to Tucson’s youth. A true community-based program, TVF has partnered with over one hundred community organizations, businesses, schools, and governments to build our program up from the dirt lot that it was in January, 2010, to the successful seed-to-table program that it is today. In 2013 alone, TVF served 22,300 youth and adults.
