Mission
The goal of our program is to improve community nutrition by making fresh produce available to community members. Our rationale is that increasing access to affordable and fresh produce will increase the consumption of vegetables that essential in maintaining bodily health.
Education
Through out the growing season staff provide classes on gardening techniques, harvesting and storage of food items. There are also classes that provide lessons on cooking healthy with produce that has been harvested from the garden.
Community Distribution
Produce from our garden is distributed in the community through the Mohican Famers Market (which is held every Friday afternoon during the summer), Share the Bounty Tables, and also through the Elderly Center.
