Our mission is growing food and growing community.
We believe that the way to a community’s heart is through its stomach. It is our vision to revitalize the West End community’s life blood, body, mind, and spirit, through the growing and sharing of naturally grown foods. Our programmatic approach has a threefold purpose
What we do: WE Gardens trains and employs young men from the community, hosts quarterly community events and garden classes, and provides support for local community gardens.
We sell affordable produce at two local markets (Hemphill Elementary school and Princeton Baptist Medical Center), providing access to fresh, healthy food in a food desert.
