The Hearts Behind 1737 Urban Homestead
At 1737 Urban Homestead, this isn’t just about growing food; it’s about growing community, stewardship, and connection. Everything we do is rooted in purpose, faith, and the belief that when you put your hands in the soil, something meaningful happens.
Here’s a little about the people behind the work.
🌱 Jordan Caldwell
Founder | Grower | Community Builder
Jordan is the heart behind 1737 Urban Homestead. His journey into growing food began from a very personal place when his wife became ill, he started learning how to grow their own food as a way to support her health and care for their family
What began as a simple act of love quickly grew into something much bigger. As he learned more about food, soil, and sustainability, it became clear that this wasn’t just a hobby; it was a calling. Through trial, patience, and a lot of hands-in-the-dirt moments, Jordan discovered the power of growing food with intention and purpose.
Today, he pours that same care into everything at 1737 Urban Homestead. Whether he’s building out the food forest, helping others get started, or quietly tending the land, his heart is always the same: to create something meaningful, nourishing, and rooted in community.
