Wild Field UrbanFarm

Wild Field UrbanFarm is a quarter-acre urban farm just east of downtown Erie that grows vegetables, cut flowers, fruit, native plants and mushrooms using ecological methods. Its best-known crops include collard, kale and chard greens, garlic, edible flowers, aronia and elderberries, hot peppers, heirloom tomatoes and rhubarb. Each spring the farm sells vegetable, flower and herb seedlings along with perennial native plants.

The food is sold at the Little Italy Farmers Market, the East Side Pay-What-You-Can farm stands, Parade St. Fresh Food Farmstand and Edinboro Market. Seasonal flower subscriptions, handmade winter wreaths and floral design for weddings and celebrations are also available. The farm is on E 7th St between Reed and Ash, and it hosts field trips and tours by request, including visits from local schools and university groups.
