Join our Cultivator Club

It’s the peak of growing season at Raleigh City Farm. We are consistently amazed at how much our farm partners are able to produce off of our 1-acre site!

Month of Giving with Eschelon Experiences

Sweet potato tostones, citrus soy salmon, a brown derby cocktail, and green tea creme brulee for dessert. Hopefully, these delicious-sounding offerings captured your attention.

Movies on the Farm

Summer is full of quintessential traditions: pool parties, cookouts, farmers' markets, and countless more. This year, we’re adding another must-do to your list: Outdoor Movies on the Farm.

Thank You for Celebrating Our 5th Bearthday with Us!

Ohhhhhh, those tacoooooos. We’re still dreaming about ‘em. It’s not often we start our day with a steaming hot breakfast burrito and coast into evening with the taco of our dreams—okay, two tacos…

Join us on April 22 for our 5th Annual Bearthday Celebration!

Not that you need a reason to make merry with good people for a good cause outdoors on a warm spring day, but even so, we've got two good ones: It's Raleigh City Farm's 5th (5th!) birthday AND it's Earth Day.

Your Share of This Year's Harvest

We envision a community engaged in a vibrant, sustainable food system reinforced by a network of thriving farmers. That's a big idea, right?! And how do we get there? It starts with you - our community. If you love fresh, nutrient-dense, local food and care about the ability to have access to it for many years to come, you've come to the right place. We just so happen to know some farmers providing Farm Shares.

Looking Back on 2016

If we had to sum up 2016 in one word, it would definitely be growth. And, before we say sayonara to this past year and hello to 2017, we thought it would be wise to document for you, our biggest fans and supporters, that which we are most proud of...a humble brag if you will.

Food Hub Caps Off a Good Year

Let’s list the things you probably already know: Raleigh City Farm is an actual working farm. It grows and sells produce on site. It’s also host to multiple farm entrepreneurs…

Masters of the Greenhouse

I used to run in Oakwood in the mornings, early, and my runs would take me past Raleigh City Farm. Rounding the corner of Delway Street, I’d look over at the greenhouse and more times than not, there would be Matt and Chase out back, each spinning a head of fresh lettuce in hand, carefully picking off any brown outer leaves. I’d wave and they’d wave back.It’s hard not to be impressed by guys like that.

Renaissance Man Becomes Farmer

If you know James Edwards, you know that he is, by definition, a renaissance man. A classically trained singer and musician; a chef who has designed, built, owned, and operated his own restaurant; a carpenter extraordinaire; and most recently, Principal Farmer at Raleigh City Farm.

A Holiday Tradition at Raleigh City Farm

Keith Chesnutt grew up in the mountains of North Carolina, in a small town just outside of Boone. As a kid, Keith remembers lots of his neighbors grew and sold Fraser firs in this region of the Tar Heel State. It's no wonder since conditions in the southern Appalachian Mountains are optimal for their growth.
