Vision

Tampa Bay's Urban Food Park will focus on job creation, food education, and opportunities for local entrepreneurs, while at the same time promoting food entertainment both as a local and tourist destination spot.

All this, while not only being completely self-sustaining, but supporting outreach programs that further our organization's mission.

Local Hot Spot

The Urban Food Park will be a local hub for fresh food, knowledge and entertainment. Once fully established, we will be completely self-sustaining. Rather than being a market competitor, we will be supporting a number of non-profits and causes that align with our mission. We will create jobs, contribute to the city's quality of life, and develop a number of programs to benefit our community.

  • On-Site Local Food Store
  • Business Incubator
  • Local Foodie Paradise
  • Public & Private Catering Events Space
  • Cooking and Gardening Classes

Education

A variety of educational classes, learning opportunities, and training sessions will be provided to assist members of the community in their continuing education.

  • Food Entrepreneurship
  • Health and Nutrition
  • Professional Training
  • Kids Classes

Tourist Destination

Nothing of this magnitude has been done before. It brings so many components under one umbrella. To accommodate these everyday visitors, we'll cover a number of areas of interest with available tours that are both guided and self-guided.

  • Urban Farm
  • Edible Botanical Garden
  • Children's Farm Area
  • Florida's First Food Museum
