The Mission of Restorative Farms is to foster a vibrant and viable community-based urban farm system in South Dallas, TX, a community that most needs fresh food access and employment.
Their goal is to create a self-sustaining, professionally-run farm system (what we call an “agrisystem”) to: Grow and sell fresh, local vegetables; build and sell GroBoxes, seedlings, and soil; and provide meaningful jobs as well as farming and entrepreneurial training.We believe that professionally run, efficient, small-scale agriculture can be an integral part of local economic growth as well as environmental and health equity.
Restorative Farms arose from the notion of restorative justice where a community and its citizens work cooperatively from within to repair the harm done by crime and injustice.
