Convivium Urban Farmstead

 Convivium believes in protecting the community and environment. By utilizing our gifts and resources we all can make a significant positive impact on the lives of our neighbors. 

We accomplish this goal in a variety of unique and engaging ways:

Convivium Classes

Convivium offers classes in three main areas: cooking, gardening and woodworking for both kids and adults. We aim to make these accessible and affordable to all income levels. Our class mix is varied, but a common thread is that we seek to teach skills, techniques and knowledge of the “old way” of doing things before they are lost forever to modernity.

The Gardens

We grow as much of our own produce as possible – primarily using our neighbor’s backyards. While we aren’t certified organic, we raise all of our vegetables naturally, fertilizing only with compost that we make on-site using food scraps from the restaurant.

Coffee House & Restaurant

Our restaurant features a from-scratch menu that highlights the fresh produce we grow ourselves in our neighbor’s backyards. All proceed from the restaurant help support our classes and other non-profit programming.
