About Us / Jones Valley Teaching Farm History:

In 2007, the founders of Jones Valley Teaching Farm transformed three and a half acres of vacant downtown property into a budding urban oasis, driven by the singular vision of making our community a healthier place. In no time, the Farm was teeming with organic produce and flowers, to the delight of local restaurants and citizens alike.\n\nBut Jones Valley became so much more than just a place where delicious food grows—it’s a place where young minds blossom. Today, our greatest focus is education: connecting young people to their food, and helping them understand where it comes from and why it matters. Empowering future generations to eat smarter, think healthier—and live better.\n\nAs we look to the road ahead for Jones Valley Teaching Farm, our investment in the future begins with a very measurable goal: to educate 10,000 students annually through our K-8 programs and curriculum.
