Why local?

D&L Urban Farms believes in the power of community. Each dollar we spend in our community through local vendors and suppliers we feel we are supporting our neighbors the way we should be.

With keeping our money in our community we are helping create new jobs, create product diversity, and supporting environmental sustainability. No more 1500 miles worth of gas to our plates.

Why Organic?

D&L Urban Farms believes that the practice of organic gardening methods are safer and more nutritionally productive (and taste) for you and your family.

D&L Urban Farms does not believe in the use of synthetic fertilizers and synthetic pesticides, plant growth regulators, and genetically modified organisms.

"Organic agriculture is a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. It relies on ecological processes, biodiversity and cycles adapted to local conditions, rather than the use of inputs with adverse effects. Organic agriculture combines tradition, innovation and science to benefit the shared environment and promote fair relationships and a good quality of life for all involved.."
