Our farms and gardens offer a unique amenity to buildings and provide a wide range of benefits.

A garden or farm and a harvest table for building tenants can give you points toward LEED, Fitwel, and WELL building certifications.
Gardens create conversation, connection, and enthusiasm. Weekly harvest tables also allow community members and building tenants to gather regularly and further benefit from the garden.
Set your building or development apart from others. This is a unique way to show prospective tenants that you value sustainability, innovation, and the health and well-being of your building and community members.

What We Do

Farm & Gardens

Up Top Acres designs, builds, maintains and activates urban farms and gardens. We work with commercial and residential properties to incorporate productive green space into the urban footprint, no matter the size.
Harvest

The fruits and vegetables grown at the gardens are distributed as an amenity to building tenants, or donated to local organizations working to increase food security.
Engagement

We offer a suite of event programming to further connect the building community to the garden, local food systems, and sustainable urban environments.

From install to harvest, our process is simple, starting with a 30-minute site visit to craft a custom proposal for your urban space.

“It’s a wonderful program on so many fronts. Office roofs are an excellent, largely untapped, resource for healthy and sustainable food production. This is part of the future of food, if we’re wise about it.”

-Developing Partner
“This is my favorite amenity provided in this building in the ten years I have worked there. This is an absolutely fantastic program.”

-Building Tenant
“Please never leave! Probably the only amenity in the building I truly care about and has massively improved my physical health.”

-Building Tenant
“This is my favorite amenity provided in this building in the 10 years I have worked there. This is an absolutely fantastic program. I loved eating my lunch on the roof and looking at the gardens. I loved having the harvest to look forward to on Tuesdays. I loved going up there with my colleagues together and talking about how we would use the vegetables we took, I love your organization. ”

-Building Tenant
“This is the best, better quality than the grocery stores.”
