Crabtree Farms

Mission: To expand access to locally grown food, provide farm based educational opportunities, and cultivate community.

At Crabtree Farms of Chattanooga, we are passionate about sustainable agriculture, and the power of locally grown food. Nestled in the heart of the beautiful Clifton Hills neighborhood, just outside of downtown Chattanooga, this 22-acre urban farm has been a beacon of sustainable farming practices and a hub for community development since its inception.

Crabtree’s unique approach to urban farming and community building was seeded in 1998 through an innovative partnership between local visionaries and the City of Chattanooga. Over the years, the farm has evolved and expanded, but the core values have remained steadfast. Today, Crabtree Farms is a thriving, multifaceted organization that encompasses not only sustainable agriculture but also educational programs, community outreach, and a commitment to environmental stewardship.

We promote sustainable agriculture and community engagement. Our goal is to preserve and promote farming, gardening, and environmental stewardship through education, outreach, and hands-on experiences. Crabtree Farms provides fresh, locally grown produce to the community, hosts educational programs and workshops on sustainable farming practices, and encourages local food systems. The farm also supports community gardens, offers volunteer opportunities, and collaborates with schools and organizations to teach people of all ages about the importance of sustainable agriculture and healthy eating.
