THE ACORN FARM NOLA – Planting New Beginnings

WELCOME TO THE ACORN FARM IN NEW ORLEANS

Welcome to the ACORN Farm, where we’re sowing the seeds of positive change right here in the vibrant heart of New Orleans’ Lower 9th Ward. Since 2013, we’ve been on a mission to transform our community by increasing food access and education.

Who We Are:

The ACORN Farm is not just an organic, nonprofit urban farm; it’s a beacon of hope dedicated to fostering a future where everyone has access to locally sourced, affordable, and delicious produce.

Our roots run deep within the Lower 9th Ward, but our impact reaches far beyond. Through our partnership with Fair Grinds Coffeehouse, we’re connecting our community to fair trade, organic coffee growers worldwide, ensuring our global neighbors also benefit from our commitment to sustainability.

What We Do:

At the ACORN Farm, we’re not just about growing greens; we’re nurturing a healthier, more informed community. We proudly provide fresh, locally sourced produce to our neighbors through various channels, including the Sankofa Fresh Stop Market—the Lower 9’s exclusive fresh produce market.

But that’s not all. Our farm is a living classroom, where you can embark on a journey to discover the joys of edible gardening, learn the secrets of organic cultivation, explore culinary arts, and delve into the vital topic of food security.
