Urban Harvest STL operates the FOOD ROOF Farm, the first of its kind rooftop farm in St. Louis. Located in the heart of downtown, the 1/5 acre farm includes green roof farm fields, hydroponics, a greenhouse, chickens, vertical gardens, a pollinator garden, a community garden, and a community hub space where we host a series of events and workshops throughout the year.

There are various other aspects of the project that the intern can participate in as desired, from working events, taking video and photographs, blogging, etc.
