New City Farm
New City Farm grows delicious food, but its purpose is more than just feeding people. For almost a decade, New City Neighbors has been working hard in the Northeast side of Grand Rapids to positively impact our community. The farm’s main objective is to provide job and life skills to high school youth in our neighborhood. Each summer we employ and train 10-15 high school students. Student employees learn all aspects of the hard work of organic vegetable growing. Student employees also participate in curriculum around job skills, food justice, anti-racism and food & faith.

Invest In Youth
New City Neighbors has shown me what a truly kind, encouraging and happy work environment looks like and I hope to continue working here for years to come.
Being in a diverse environment, getting to learn different things about different people and building new relationships… I used to be a self centered person, but being here has opened up my eyes and my heart to different people.
