The Urban Farm

Our Mission

Provide opportunities to heal through nature by developing and maintaining innovative green spaces where people can gather to learn about the connection between food and health through hands-on experiences and purposeful programing.

The original MUSC Urban Farm at 41 Bee Street has permanently closed to make way for the new College of Medicine building.

We are in the process of opening up several Pocket Urban Farms. Pocket Urban Farms are smaller areas around our main campus providing opportunities for students, faculty, staff, patients and the community to experience many of the programs developed by the original Urban Farm.

Please check our social media for updates on programing and volunteer opportunities and information about our grand opening ceremony scheduled for the fallof 2024. Please email us at urbanfarm@musc.eduwith questions.
