Growing Big in Small Spaces
Roots Urban Farm in Madison, TN began in 2015 to steward a vacant lot owned by the church into a permaculture paradise that could be a place to practice hospitality and generosity with our neighbors and to educate and inspire others to do the same in their neighborhoods.
Our urban farm sits on less than half an acre of land and grows a large variety of annual and perennial fruits and vegetables
One way we want to educate our community and distribute more food is to build barrel gardens together and send everyone home with a barrel garden if they want one.
We want to help more people, churches, and organizations establish gardens and grow their own food.
At Roots, we believe that the collective power of compassion and generosity can create meaningful change in the world. Your support is crucial in enabling us to continue our mission of making a positive impact on communities in need.

May through October, every Saturday from nine to noon we pick, wash, weigh, and stage the garden produce for use thoughout the week.
Our approach to gardening is “permaculture meets market gardening”. We grow in the ground, in raised beds, and in aquaponic systems.

We want to build a rock-and-cob wood-fired pizza oven from the stones we’ve found in the garden—turning toil into table, and harvests into community.
A solar dehydrator is a sustainable, low-tech solution for preserving fruits, vegetables, herbs, and more—using only the power of the sun.
We installed a climate battery under the ground in the high tunnel to store daytime heat in the ground and keep our plants warmer on winter nights.
