Small Places is a nonprofit farming organization based in Houston, Texas, operating as a 501(c)3 with a mission to address limited access to healthy food by developing urban farms in their surrounding communities. The group began with an urban farm in Houston’s 2nd Ward, transforming a vacant 1.25-acre lot into a productive community space that yields substantial harvests and aims to keep all produce within the local community; this initiative expanded when the farm was moved to a larger site nearby to increase impact on local food systems. In May 2022, Small Places fully transitioned to a charitable organization, and in October of the same year it launched a capital campaign to fund further farm development that includes a future site featuring a grocery store, classroom, and pavilion to enhance the neighborhood farm experience. The organization operates within the farming sector, focusing on community-centered food access and systemic change at the neighborhood level, with recent activity signaling ongoing expansion and deeper community integration in the East End of Houston.
