Our Roots Run Deep in Brooklyn
What started as a simple desire to grow better food has blossomed into a mission to transform urban agriculture.
From Backyard to Borough
Humble Beginnings
Charlotte's Farms began in a small backyard in Brooklyn. Fueled by a love for good food and a passion for sustainability, we started growing tomatoes for our family—and then for the neighborhood.
Growing Community
Word spread about our fresh, organic produce. Neighbors began asking for more. We realized we weren't just growing food—we were growing a movement.
Commercial Expansion
Now, we've expanded to a commercial space, transforming the rear yard of a local business into a full-fledged farm. This is just the beginning of our borough-wide vision.
Our Purpose & Promise
Everything we do is guided by our mission, vision, and commitment to our community.
Our Mission
To feed our community with nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables while setting a new standard for sustainable urban agriculture.
Our Vision
We aim to become the largest urban farm in NYC in the next five years—using rooftops, backyards, and underused spaces to grow a greener city.
Our Values
Charlotte's Farms is 100% female-owned and led. We believe in empowerment through food, equity through access, and strength through sustainability.
Growing by the Numbers
Our impact goes beyond just growing food—we're cultivating a sustainable future for Brooklyn and beyond.
