Our Story

Our journey began in 2016 with a focus on sustainable urban farming in underused spaces. In 2018, we shifted our focus to landscaping, blending our commitment to sustainability with a creative approach to transforming outdoor environments.

Founder: Gabe Keeven

Side Lot Farms was officially established in St. Louis, Missouri by Gabriel Keeven in 2016. Growing up in the city, Gabe always imagined how the empty spaces could be used. His vision and exploration have blossomed into multiple entrepreneurial ventures.

Along with landscaping and lawn care services, Gabe also runs an urban farming project in the city of St. Louis under the Side Lot Farms name and logo. The project grows organic, (mostly) heirloom varieties with no spraying.
