Grow Pittsburgh is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing healthy produce to area residents, increasing local food security, remediating the land, and teaching youth about the benefits of sustainable living.  The organization provides visibility and leadership for the urban agriculture community.  Among their projects are the Edible Schoolyard, where kids learn to grow vegetables, and a large-scale demonstration farm in Braddock.
