Welcome to
Wild Field Urban Farm
Ecologically Grown. East Side Grown.
Erie Pa
Who We Are
What began in 2017 as a backyard garden to share with our household and kids next door has grown into a quarter acre urban farm just east of downtown Erie, sprawling onto the two adjacent side lots. The farm exists in relationship with like-minded food, farm, and community projects in Erie working together to create a sustainable, just local food system built on food sovereignty and reverence for life. The farm's mission is to cultivate plants for food and beauty through ecological practices that are sustained by reciprocal relationships with our community. Learn more about the farm here.
What We Grow
The urban farm includes a backyard garden, propagation greenhouse, production field for vegetables and cut flowers, tiny orchard with fruit trees and berries, native plants, mushrooms, and demonstration areas for backyard gardening, composting, and culinary arts. Each spring, we produce seedlings for sale (veggie and flower starts, perennial native plants, and herbs) and food crops for the Little Italy Farmers Market and East Side Pay-What-You-Can farm stands. We also offer a small seasonal flower subscription (a flower CSA), handmade winter wreaths, and floral design services for weddings and special celebrations. Some of our most popular crops include greens (collards, kale, chard), garlic, edible flowers, aronia berries, elderberries, hot peppers, heirloom tomatoes, eggplant, beans, peas, rhubarb, and okra.
