Our Purpose

Dunbar Farms’ main goal is to improve the quality of health for Dunbar residents through easy access to healthy food and improving the built environment. Current goals include increasing neighborhood interaction with Dunbar Farms by 20% and (2) increasing the number of youth in the ENJOY (Engineering Neighborhood Job Opportunities for Youth) by 50% to reach 15 youths. Plans are underway to establish an after-school and weekend cohort for youth ages 13-18. Dunbar Farms programs include information sessions on environmental justice, climate change, backyard gardening and composting.  The site is designed so that people of all abilities can participate.  Volunteer opportunities at the farm are also available.
