The Kansas City Center for Urban Agriculture (KCCUA) is a 501(c)3 tax-exempt corporation founded in 2004 with the mission of  promoting the production and consumption of food in city neighborhoods.  KCCUA works to create a Kansas City where:

• small, community-based farms are scattered throughout the metro, providing an abundance of fresh and healthy food to city residents,
• there are new opportunities for people who would like to farm and generate an income doing so,
• unused, vacant and unsightly spaces are turned to productive use, and
• small-scale agriculture is understood as an integral part of a beautiful, lively and healthy neighborhood.

To realize this vision, the Center develops training programs for new and
experienced farmers and for individuals, organizations, and communities
interested in promoting urban food production.  The Center operates the
Kansas City Community Farm (KCCF), a working, certified organic vegetable farm, the Urban Farmer Development Program, and the Juniper Gardens Training Farm.
