Growing Communities Through Urban Agriculture

At Alabama Urban Gardeners and Farmers Association, we believe agriculture has the power to transform communities, improve health, create economic opportunities, and develop future leaders. Through education, outreach, technical assistance, and community partnerships, we help gardeners, farmers, youth, and organizations build sustainable and resilient food systems across Alabama.

Whether you are planting your first garden, growing a successful farm business, or looking to make a difference in your community, Alabama Urban Gardeners and Farmers Association is here to help you grow.

Together, we are growing food, building leaders, and strengthening community.
