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

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.
