Growing to Give’s mission is to grow organic vegetables using climate-friendly farming methods, and donate them to local people struggling with food insecurity. We believe the way we farm matters. That is why we are certified organic, amend our soil with carbon sequestering biochar, use mostly solar powered farm equipment and low-till farming practices. Since 2017, we have grown and donated over 50,000 pounds of organic vegetables providing thousands of local people with fresh, healthy food.
Bessie Green’s mission is to serve our neighbors with compassion and dignity. We have been in operation since 1978. Over the last three years, our soup kitchen has served over 58,000 meals to people in our community. We also provide a clothing barn and food pantry. Bessie Green is doing all it can to supply fresh food for those in need. Our goal is to increase the number of people we serve by 50% by the end of the year. Bessie Green is continuing to serve more people every week. As the coronavirus has shut down businesses and laid-off workers, our attendance has spiked.
Cornucopia provides hands-on education about nutrition, horticulture, environmentalism, and community. We operate an educational farm with outdoor growing areas, three high tunnels and a pollinator habitat. It is the hub of Farm to Fork, one of three programs we offer. The farm is centrally located in our school district, across from the high school. We have a history of hands-on education that highlights the importance of nutrition, environmental awareness, and community; while delivering solid academic work that satisfies state and federal education goals.
