Fresh compost, deep roots, and even deeper gratitude! 🌱✨

Huge thanks to the Horticulture Technology students from for their hard work topping off our raised beds and mastering the broadfork. We’re beyond grateful for their skills, energy, and dedication!

Our fields may be resting, but we’re not! ❄️💪 HUF Staff Brian and Wiley traded farm planning for food pantry duty, supporting our partner who we grow for all season long. Growing season or not, food insecurity doesn’t take a break, and we're so grateful to Brashear for letting us help out!!

A celebration of community and resilience 🌱✨ 🎀✂️

Hilltop Urban Farm was honored to support the opening of the Freeman Family Farm Store. The ribbon cutting marks another pivotal milestone in Lisa Freeman's vision of community empowerment and resilience.

We were thrilled to celebrate this momentous achievement alongside Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture Redding, Pittsburgh Mayor Gainey, and many other urban ag nonprofits who share the dream of a Pittsburgh where everyone has access to fresh and nutritious produce.

GH Advertising was an incredible team to host at HUF. Lots of smiles, positive energy, and capable beings! GH worked to cardboard and mulch the final 10 pathways in the "vining" section of the field. Today we harvested the second batch of zucchini from that area, with pumpkins and watermelons growing alongside the zuccs! THANK YOU! THANK YOU, GH Advertising!!

.usa Pittsburgh office came through in the heatwave! Wow. A BIG HUF THANK YOU to each and everyone of the BDO team members who weeded multiple pepper rows, smiled through the sweat, and lifted our spirits as they recognized the significant leaps HUF has taken since BDO first volunteered in 2022. Not to mention, broke down and moved all of the sad picnic tables . . . cleaned up around the youth farm container and more.

HUF LOVES YOU, BDO!! THANK YOU SO MUCH. ❤️
