Waterfields

Waterfields is a social enterprise inspired by the potential embedded in the urban core. We are leveraging local capacity to realize a more healthy, peaceful and prosperous neighborhood through full time employment in year-round urban agriculture. Our sustainable business model applies proven technology and deploys underutilized community assets to generate a cornerstone business by and for the people of Lower Price Hill. The mission of Waterfields is to create and develop healthy, sustainable urban agricultural businesses in areas of concentrated poverty and disadvantaged neighborhoods that provide local residents with meaningful work, livable wages, health benefits, and opportunities for individual growth, advancement and wealth creation. Waterfields will employ neighborhood residents at locations that are easily accessible to them, in profitable, sustainable industrial-scale agricultural facilities, producing high quality products for the restaurant, retail, and institutional markets, year-round.
