Indy Urban Acres is a collection of organic farms used to empower and educate people by providing equitable access to free, high quality produce.
Throughout the summer, Indy Urban Acres hosts teens and other groups for tours and educational programming at the farm. Each summer, thousands of youth and young adults experienced how food is grown and how to grow their own.

We donate 100% of our produce to food pantries and directly to select low-income families, but we do have some flower focused events in the works for August and September of 2021.
Not only do these events help Indy Urban Acres provide families in need with healthy organic produce, they are also incredibly fun and different.
The Parks Alliance of Indianapolis sustains Indy Urban Acres through grants, donations, and annual fundraising events like Farmraiser on the last Saturday in September and the Indy Urban Acres Plant Sale on Mothers Day weekend.
The Glick Fund has been one of the farms largest funders, investing $375,000 in Indy Urban Acres since the farm’s first year in 2011.
As an individual or company, you can provide one food-insecure family with fresh fruits and veggies for 20 weeks with a $500 donation or 10 weeks with a donation of $250.
