Hamer Free Food Box Farms
Our Mission
Every empty lot is a chance to feed a family.
Global One Urban Farming exists to close the gap between people and real food. We convert vacant Kansas City land into working farms, train the next generation of growers, and give away every pound we can harvest.
- Grow and distribute fresh organic food, free.
- Teach urban agriculture to youth, families, and schools.
- Reconnect communities to land, health, and each other.
Programs
View all programs →Seven ways we grow.
Program 01
Food Production & Distribution
We grow fruits, vegetables, herbs, and pollinator plants across multiple urban plots and give the harvest away free — through the Hamer Free Food Box Program, our community farm stand, weekly pick-ups, and direct neighborhood deliveries.

Youth Empowerment & Workforce Training
Through paid internships including Pro-X and our Teenage Farmers Program, youth ages 14–18 learn hands-on farming, entrepreneurship, and leadership while helping plant, harvest, and run community events.

Education, Training & Conservation
Workshops and field days on soil health, composting, water conservation, and pollinator habitat management — including care for our two bee apiary gardens — train residents, educators, and partner organizations to grow food sustainably.

Hands-on agricultural education in Kansas City schools — the full greenhouse growing process, year-round container gardening with grow lights, and outdoor organic gardening, with students taking harvests home to their families.

Real neighbors. Real harvests.
What we grow shows up on kitchen tables across Kansas City. Here's what our neighbors, parents, and partners say about the work.
"Global One turned an empty lot on our block into the healthiest thing that's happened here in twenty years. My grandkids now know where a tomato comes from."
Denise M.
Neighbor · East 27th Street
"The youth apprenticeship gave my son his first paycheck and his first mentor. He came home talking about soil science and college."
Marcus T.
Parent · Youth Program
"We've partnered with Global One for four school years. The curriculum is rigorous, the team is generous, and our students are hooked."
Ms. Alvarez
5th Grade Teacher · KCPS
