Where community and agriculture flourish together.



Free Organic Vegetable Distribution

We're excited to offer free organic vegetables every Thursday from 1:00–4:00 PM at Urban Triage's Park Street office beginning June 25th.

For our first distribution, community members can pick up:

• Fresh collard greens
• Mustard greens

These distributions are part of our ongoing commitment to increasing access to healthy, locally grown food throughout our community.

Visit Our New Community Garden at Heifetz Park

We are proud to announce our new community garden at Heifetz Park on Madison's south side. Community members are encouraged to visit, interact with the space, and harvest produce as it becomes available.

Conveniently located less than five minutes from Urban Triage's Park Street office, the garden was created to increase access to fresh food while fostering community connection and stewardship.

Since our last newsletter, we've been hard at work preparing for the growing season. While this spring has been cooler than last year, it has also brought more intense weather swings. We've experienced periods of very dry conditions followed by heavy rainfall and storms. Aside from an early-season frost, our crops have remained resilient, and we're excited to see them taking off as temperatures warm.

As we move into summer, we are entering one of the busiest times of the year with harvesting and weeding underway. These essential tasks keep our team busy, but they also bring us closer to our goal of providing fresh, nutritious food to our community.

We are incredibly grateful for the support we've received from generous partners and neighbors. Special thanks to Keene Garlic, The Farley Center, UW Extension, and our wonderful farm neighbors Jen, Chandy, Juan, and Jennica. Whether through donated plants and supplies, sharing equipment, lending a tractor, or simply offering encouragement, this community continues to help make our work possible. Their support reminds us that growing food is truly a collective effort.

A Sneak Peek at What's Next

We're excited to share an early look at Primrose Valley Farm and future plans for expanded programming, educational opportunities, volunteer days, and community events at a new farm location in Belleville, just 30 minutes from Urban Triage's Park Street office.

This new space has incredible potential to deepen our impact, expand food production, create more opportunities for community engagement, and build stronger connections between people and the land. Stay tuned for upcoming announcements, tours, volunteer opportunities, and special events as we continue bringing this vision to life.
