Welcome to The Growing Project!
Mission
The Growing Project is a volunteer-run 501(c)3 nonprofit that promotes the value of a strong, diverse, and just local food system to all residents of Northern Colorado through direct agricultural experiences, education, and advocacy.
Vision
Food security is a global issue and a growing concern in Larimer County. The Growing Project addresses this important issue by making fresh, nourishing, regional food more accessible to all. The Growing Project accomplishes this through co-creating community gardens that increase the supply of fresh local produce; educational programs that provide knowledge and skills in community-building, nutrition, sustainable agriculture, permaculture, and self-sufficiency; and advocacy efforts that promote community access to food grown locally.
Garden Programs
- Urban Foods Outreach: Creates residential gardens, where excess produce is donated to those in need.
- Garden Time: A Horticulture Therapy program for at-risk youth at the Remington House.
- Glean Team: Emergency food rescue effort coordinating with local farmers to glean excess produce from the fields and donate it to the Food Bank for Larimer County.
