Fleet Farming Nonprofit & Plant Nursery

Urban edible plant nursery. Top products: vegetable starts, herb seedlings, edible landscape plants, fruit-bearing trees. Fleet Farming is an urban agriculture program operated by the 501(c)(3) nonprofit IDEAS For Us. The organization focuses on transforming underutilized residential lawns into productive 'farmlettes' to decentralize food production and increase local food security. As part of their operational model, they maintain a plant nursery to support their mission of empowering community members to grow their own food. The nursery specializes in edible plant varieties, including vegetable starts, herbs, and fruit-bearing plants, catering to homeowners, urban gardeners, and community members looking to convert traditional grass lawns into functional food-producing landscapes. Beyond plant retail, the program utilizes these resources to fuel their 'farmlette' initiatives and local food distribution efforts, emphasizing sustainable growing methods and community-driven agricultural education.
