Four Seasons City Farm is a non-profit organization dedicated to revolutionary food production and community-building projects in and around the near eastside of Columbus, Ohio. Started in the early growing season of 2004 as part of a ministry of the Old First Presbyterian Church, the City Farm vision has expanded to include fourteen different plots in the city, including a one-acre community garden complex to be added in the spring of 2007. Currently,



City Farm is working to create a sustainable program through bi-weekly sales at local farmers' markets, as well as through0 distribution to local grocers and restaurants. All proceeds from these sales go directly back into expanding our urban garden program. In addition, City Farm is committed to using the most sustainable farming techniques (including organic growing) and making the byproduct of those techniques (namely, our fresh vegetables and fruits) accessible to all in our immediate community. Every seed that is planted, then, holds within in it a radical, transformative potential by which we educate ourselves and others about future possibilities, create avenues for community-building, and become open to the new life and new opportunities that continually surround us. Like the plants, we are digging in. Like creation, we are rising up.
