Program accomplishments

  • Urban Harvest's Food Access Program makes fresh, healthy food the easy, affordable choice for all through Double Up Houston, the Mobile Market, and the Saturday Farmers Market. Double Up Houston is Urban Harvest's SNAP incentive program in which food-insecure or low-income individuals can leverage enrollment in federal benefit programs, such as SNAP, WIC, and others, to access fresh fruit and vegetables at farm stands, farmers markets, and Mobile Market sites across Houston. Urban Harvest's Mobile Market partners with clinics, churches, schools, housing organizations, community centers, and other community-based sites to offer farm-fresh produce in low-income, low-access communities.
    Expenses $495,119 · grants $15,698 · revenue $232,901
  • Urban Harvest's Permaculture Program builds advanced land stewardship skills and community leadership by training participants to design sustainable, regenerative systems that support food production, environmental health, and community resilience. Permaculture, or "permanent agriculture", is grounded in the ethics of Earth Care, People Care, and Fair Share. The program emphasizes practical application and long-term community benefit, making sure to include marginalized communities and community members.
    Expenses $268,837 · grants $28,500 · revenue $65,935
  • Urban Harvest's Education Program builds the knowledge, skills, and confidence people need to grow food, care for the land, and participate meaningfully in the local food system. Rooted in experiential learning and community connection, the program integrates gardening classes, workshops like Edible Academy and Women in Agriculture, youth programming, and a robust Community Gardens network to support individual and collective well-being.
    Expenses $268,283 · revenue $7,081
