Columbia Center for Urban Agriculture (CCUA) is a non-profit working in central Missouri out of two main locations: Columbia’s Agriculture Park and Mark and Carol Stevenson Veterans Urban Farm. Our vision is a community transformed by good food for all and the skills to grow it. We run a number of targeted programs to provide a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables directly to community members in need while supporting people of all ages with opportunities to develop lifelong skills in home gardening, agriculture, and cooking.
