OUR STORY

From Vision TO Vegetables

Jubilee Farms was created to address two urgent needs in Washington, DC: access to fresh, healthy food and meaningful employment opportunities.

The Beginning

Rooted in Jubilee Housing’s mission to build Justice Housing, the idea for Jubilee Farms emerged from a partnership with Fresh Ministries to use underutilized space within affordable housing while directly benefiting residents and the surrounding community.

The Innovation

Aquaponics allows us to grow food sustainably in unexpected urban spaces. By combining fish cultivation with hydroponic growing systems, we produce food efficiently while conserving water and minimizing waste.

The Mission

Our mission is simple and powerful: provide fresh food, train people for living-wage careers, and nurture communities.

The Impact

Jubilee Farms creates pathways to employment, improves food access, and demonstrates what is possible when housing, sustainability, and workforce development come together.
