“CitySeeds mission is to engage the community in growing a local food system that promotes economic development, community development, and sustainable agriculture.”
CitySeed partners with New Haven residents to create economic opportunity through their Incubator Program.
CitySeed Incubates connects up-and-coming food entrepreneurs with the resources needed to build and maintain a viable food business. This program enables local community members opportunities for professional development through access to culinary training, a space to do so, and a robust community-based network to learn all the skills necessary for the job.
In addition to educational opportunities, the program offers a robust network for newcomers to the food industry, allowing for a more synchronous local food system.

CitySeeds Sanctuary Kitchen aids in the other programs’ professional development. The kitchen, offering catering and a weekly subscription, provides employment and growth opportunities for its participants. Offering a space for chefs to hone their skills while catering to the local community
Each CitySeed program works with the others to help create a stable agricultural system for New Haven residents. The fruits of everyone’s labor (hehe) can be purchased at their Farmers’ Markets.
CitySeed has something for everyone.
