GRuB

Our Programs

Youth Programs - Through our GRuB in the Schools Initiative, disengaged and/or low-income students earn credits while learning about and contributing to their local food systems. We focus on the themes of Farming Self (personal development), Farming Land (sustainable land stewardship), & Farming Community (civic engagement & community service).

We also engage PreK-12 youth in hands-on learning about soil, plants, food, and community through field trips to our farm. We help them explore the question, “Where does our food come from?”

Kitchen Garden Project
Gardens and good food naturally connect and inspire people to grow together while improving community self-reliance and health. GRuB partners with lower-income people to create projects that increase access to healthy food.

Since 1993, we have worked alongside volunteers and gardeners to build more than 2,500 backyard and community gardens, host workshops, and provide support, training, and resources for new gardeners to find success. Our goal is for gardeners to build the skills and connections to organize good food projects in their own neighborhoods.
