• Mission: A Nonprofit Collective Housing Like-Missioned Initiatives for Land, Food, People, and Place. Memphis Tilth exists to cultivate collective action for health of land, food, people, and place.

Memphis Tilth will promote and cultivate a comprehensive approach toward regional, urban agriculture and local food value-chain development through seven distinct but overlapping programs: 1. Food and Faith Initiative - To promote health of land and community through congregational-supported agriculture (religious communities engaged directly in the production, procurement, aggregation, distribution, and preparation of locally grown and raised food). 2. Local Food Hub - to promote community development in Memphis and the Mid-South by increasing access to healthy, affordable local foods and strengthening farmer livelihoods. 3. Community Kitchen - a licensed and properly equipped community kitchen featuring programming for the promotion of culinary education, shared meal preparation, and value-added production. 4. Community Gardens - helps communities build gardens to improve access to locally grown food in their neighborhoods. 5. Farmers Market Incentive - in partnership with public and philanthropic efforts to to increase capacity by creating incentives for the consumption of healthy, locally grown fruits and vegetables at Memphis area farmers and mobile markets, in the form of matching dollars for subsidized local food purchases (e.g. SNAP EBT). 6. Food Policy Program 7. Urban Farming Program
