Our purpose is to...teach those food insecure in the area how to grow their own food. By building gardens in the backyards of hungry families, we will teach them how to plant, cultivate, harvest, share and preserve the food they grow, alleviating reliance on strained emergency food organizations and creating self-sufficiency. Using the principles of permaculture gardening, families grow food while also creating a more sustainable use of land than traditional gardening practices. In MA, 1 in 6 households are food insecure. We want to do this work to help stop the cycle of hunger in our community by teaching people how to grow the food they need to be healthy.
