Our goal with OriginalGreen is to increase access to fresh produce by engaging residents in the production and delivery of healthier foods in their local community. Immediate work includes installation of raised beds at our existing housing sites, the establishment of site-based nutrition education, and convening neighbors to promote local food activities.
The project will eventually include multiple sites, connecting previously unimproved land at nearby developments and single-family yards, to create a neighborhood-level food system. Local residents will maintain on-site market programs and provide mobile delivery to other residents and corner grocers.
