Life is magic.

"When a farm grows its own feeds and makes its own fertilizers, the crops sold are simply carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, and nitrogen (in the form of carbohydrates, starches, fats, sugars and protein) derived from the air, rain and sunshine which falls on it."

...116 urban farmers...permaculture, community gardens, community builders, buy local...share experience, knowledge, and fun times...grow, teach, and learn about agriculture in the Burgh...
Learn about urban food production, native plants, and permaculture design...

2. Join one of our PGE neighborhood teams or learn how to start your own.

3. Network with other urban farmers.

4. Get on-farm experience at a member farm.

This season we'll meet local farmers, take some field trips, and learn a lot from each other.

There is huge potential for urban food production to supply a large portion of our diet. We believe that with quality garden design and stewardship, we can create an urban food network that will thrive in Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh Garden Experiment is a project by Steel City Soils, LLC with a ton of help from the people of Pittsburgh (all of yinz).
