JOIN US IN TREATING NEIGHBORS MORE LIKE FAMILY AND THE PLANET MORE LIKE OUR COMMON HOME!
Growing healthy neighborhoods through urban farming and community development.
Growing Neighbors is about partnering with local organizations and growing relationships and produce with our neighbors to encourage healthier lifestyles. The primary goal is developing Neighborhood Families, who share meals and resources, use their gifts to care for each others’ needs and generally function like an extended family.
