Welcome!
Celebrating 15 Years of Nourishing Our Community!
For 15 incredible years, Victory Garden Initiative has been rooted in the Harambee neighborhood of Milwaukee, transforming 1.5 acres of urban land into a thriving farm. Our mission is simple yet profound: to provide fresh, free produce to our neighbors and empower our community to grow their own food.
Join us as we celebrate 15 years of service, impact, and connection!
Move Grass, Grow Food!

Our Programs
The Urban Farm is Free.
Everyone deserves access to nutritious food. We are an organic farm that ensures the residents of Harambee, and the greater Milwaukee area can easily harvest food to feed their families garden-to-table.
Growing Food as a Revolution.
We dedicate our mission to empowering our community to grow their own food. Gardening is a powerful tool for self-sufficiency. We deliver and install garden beds around the greater Milwaukee area to give our people access to produce in their own yard.
Education Bolsters Agency.
The Youth Education Program (YEP!) creates spaces for young students to build self-confidence through fostering food independence and nutritional-eating literacy. We educate students on the origins of food and how to grow it with a focus on integrating this knowledge into their home lives.
Building the Community.
Every Saturday, during the season, we offer free organic produce harvested from the farm. Local residents pick what they like, bringing down the average costs of weekly groceries.
