Our Story

Common Roots Urban Farm is located in the Broadway Fillmore Neighborhood on Buffalo’s East Side. We began in 2012 with the support of the Farmer Pirates Cooperative and are situated on 1 acre of now thriving land. On just over 1/2 acre we grow a variety of vegetables and fruits using organic and ecologically sustainable methods.

​

Our Mission

We believe that natural and fresh food is fundamental to a healthy lifestyle.

We aim to be a vibrant, healthy part of our community by providing access to honest, healthy food at affordable prices.  We believe our small farm is an important and integral part of urban revitalization in Buffalo by restoring neglected vacant land into a beautiful place our neighbors can take pride in. Respecting life in and out of the soil is essential.

​

Our Methods

At Common Roots we grow using natural and sustainable methods. We have been  building the health of our soil by adding locally made compost, using low till methods, with a focus on regenerating life within our natural soil.
