Convivium Urban Farmstead

Convivium Urban Farmstead is an educational nonprofit in Dubuque, Iowa dedicated to creating community around food. 

Convivium was founded on the idea that a lot of our world’s problems stem from a lack of connection – to ourselves, to our community, and to our environment. At Convivium we hope to foster this connection, or reconnection, to those areas of our life and we use FOOD to do it. 

Why food? Because it is universal, everyone eats. And the ritual of eating is more than just satisfying our hunger – it involves the farmer that grew it, the soil, sun and rain that gave it life, the person who prepared, and the people with whom we enjoy it.
