As a farmer training program, having land to cultivate on is crucial. Global Gardens oversees six farms in the city of Boise and several farmers have additional plots at other farms in the Treasure Valley.
All of our farming and gardening is done on donated land in and around Boise and uses organic practices.

Liberty Street Community Garden
Liberty Street offers more than 100 community garden plots primarily to gardeners from immigrant and refugee backgrounds. Some market farmers also grow produce for their CSAs here. 
Wright Church Farm
Situated near the corner of Franklin and Orchard behind the Wright Congregational United Church of Christ, this farm plot only recently began being used by Global Gardens. Currently, just one farmer - Safiya - farms at this location. 
Draggin' Wing High Desert Nursery
Located near Collister and Hill Road in northwest Boise, Draggin' Wing High Desert Nursery is a nursery that offers a wide selection of native and regionally adapted ornamental plants for water-conserving landscapes. Starting during the 2024 season, Draggin' Wing began to allow Global Gardens to farm extra land on their property. Currently, just Hadija farms at this location. |
Five Mile Farm
Located behind the Five Mile Church of the Nazarene, this farm has plots for many market farmers. Several beginning farmers start with small plots at this farm as well. 
Healthwise Farm
Healthwise is a small Global Gardens farm located behind Healthwise Inc on Bogus Basin Road close to the Harrison Hollow Trailhead and Parking hiking area. The land is farmed by Noor and Mariamu and is also the site for one of their CSA pick-ups. 
Spaulding Ranch
Spaulding Ranch was acquired by the City of Boise in 2016 and is the first property of its kind in Boise Parks and Recreation's inventory. The site was designated as a local historic district in 1996 and the large, 20-acre destination features a barn, main house and acreage for agricultural plots and pathways. The vision of Spaulding Ranch is to create a dynamic community gathering space where residents and visitors can learn about the past, present and future of urban agriculture in Boise. Starting in the 2024 season, Global Gardens began partnering with Spaulding Ranch and started farming a small plot of land there. |
Pond Street Farm
Pond Street is home to several CSA and wholesale plots as well as the site of the Global Gardens Food Hub. It is also the location for Koborewa Cornmeal. 
Blue Cross of Idaho Farm Located off of Eagle Road, the Blue Cross of Idaho Farm sits adjacent to the health insurance agency in Meridian. Currently, just Noor and Mariamu farm at this location. 
Idaho Botanical Garden
The Idaho Botanical Garden, located in the historic Old Penitentiary District of Boise, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to connecting people, plants and nature. The garden serves as a gathering space in the Boise community and advocates environmental stewardship. |
We are thankful for the City of Boise and the Five Mile Church of the Nazarene who continue to support Global Gardens farmers by providing access to land in Boise.
