SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE IS THE ENGINE THAT DRIVES HOW WE ADDRESS THESE THREE QUESTIONS. OUR COMMUNITY FOOD WORK INCLUDES GROWING PRODUCE AND MAKING IT AVAILABLE TO LOW-INCOME CONSUMERS THROUGH FREE AND REDUCED PRICE CSA SHARES AND THROUGH THE EMERGENCY FOOD SYSTEM.

OUR GROWING SEASON YOUTH PROGRAMS- YOUTH GROWERS, GROW INTERNS, CULINARY CREW, AND MORE- APPLY A FOOD SYSTEM LENS TO HELPING YOUTH DEVELOP THEIR SKILLS AS WORKERS, CITIZENS, LEADERS, AND STEWARDS. AND OUR MANY SCHOOL PARTNERSHIPS SUPPORT TEACHERS AND STUDENTS WHO SEE FOOD AND FARM WORK AS A WAY TO DEVELOP SKILLS IN LEADERSHIP AND STEWARDSHIP. OUR COMMUNITY SUSTAINABILITY WORK ENCOMPASSES THE FACT THAT WE GROW RIGHT WHERE PEOPLE LIVE AND EAT, USING ONLY SUSTAINABLE- AND, WHENEVER POSSIBLE, CERTIFIED ORGANIC PRACTICES.
