About us | Our community produces healthy food for residents of the city and suburbs, provides youth leadership opportunities, and inspires and supports others to create change in their own communities. We grow 200,000 pounds of food each year without chemical fertilizers or pesticides and donate thousands of pounds of produce to local hunger relief organizations. Locally, we promote access to fresh, affordable produce by building raised-bed gardens for residents and organizations, offering garden-based educational programming, and providing opportunities for people to use SNAP/EBT benefits to purchase fresh food. |
