Peace and Friendship Farm

The Peace and Friendship Farm is an urban garden located in the Hill District of Pittsburgh, not far from the University's campus. The farm is run by the Project Love Coalition, a non-profit organization that assists veterans in the area through community building and STEAM (science, technology, engineering, art, and math)-based projects. The Peace and Friendship Farm teaches members of the Hill District how to grow healthy food sustainably and promotes social engagement.

In February 2024, we started our partnership with Kent, the owner of the Peace and Friendship Farm, and the Project Love Coalition. We are currently working with Kent on various projects to upgrade and maintain the farm:

• Dig trench and install a 150 foot long Groundhog Barrier

• Preparation and installation of the second high tunnel

• Winterizing the site 

• Site Preparation for the installation of the new shed 

• Connecting the Water Filtration System

• Retaining wall design

We are volunteering at the farm every Saturday during the fall semester!
