Community grows here. 🌱

We had a great time celebrating Community Day at Akron Cooperative Farms over the weekend! North Hill neighbors and other community members gathered for a day of food, music, art, and movement.

North Hill CDC was proud to sponsor the arts activities and join in a celebration of one of the neighborhood’s most special spaces.

About Akron Cooperative Farms:

Located on 4.5 acres of former baseball fields in North Hill, Akron Cooperative Farms has transformed underused land into a thriving place to grow food, share knowledge and build community.

The farm provides garden plots where people of different ages, cultures and backgrounds can grow food for their families and communities — or turn what they grow into entrepreneurial opportunities.

Stop by the farm at 743 Gaylan Dr. and discover ways to get involved at akroncoopfarms.org.

Community Day was a beautiful reminder of what can happen when we create spaces where people can grow, gather and celebrate together.

Thank you to Akron Cooperative Farms, all of the artists, performers and community partners, and everyone who spent the day with us in North Hill!
