our work
Farmers, primary stewards of the land, are key to sustaining and improving the environmental and economic vitality of our community. They are suppliers of locally grown, fresh food and storing produce and grains, breeding and raising livestock and more with a dedication to improving growing techniques to increase yield utilizing best innovations and practices.
Big or small farms, no matter. The more we purchase from the farmers close to home, the less dependent we are on utilizing fossil fuels for shipping, the more we secure our food sources, eliminate unnecessary food waste, guarantee access to healthy foods for all and insure best environmental practices are enforced to maintain a high quality of air, water and soil.
Grow Your Own Meal is dedicated to support farmers’ access to resources necessary to maintain a thriving farming operation. Over the coming months, we will be unveiling our current project in development to meet and exceed our mission.
