About This Organization

65096_223702607763197_1869375761_nGaining Ground in Concord, MA, grows and donates organic produce to hunger relief programs within 20 miles of the farm. It mobilizes over 2,500 volunteers to grow the vegetables, herbs, fruit and flowers and introduce the volunteers to the multi-level benefits of local, no-till sustainable farming. In the past four years, the organization has tripled its produce donations, now up to 80,000 pounds, largely because of strategic decisions to improve soil quality and infrastructure (tractor, well, deer fence, hoop house and barn) and to develop a stronger farm team. It is excited to have Food Tank president, Danielle Nierenberg, as their keynote panelist at its upcoming March 29 event,Hunger Relief from the Ground Up.

    ABOUT THE GUIDE

    The James Beard Foundation, Food Tank, and Valrhona, along with a prestigious advisory group of food system experts, developed the “Good Food Org Guide.”

    This definitive Guide highlights nonprofit organizations that are doing exemplary work in the United States in the areas of food and agriculture, nutrition and health, hunger and obesity, and food justice.

    Only nonprofit, scholarly, and municipal initiatives have been selected in order to spotlight efforts that are focused on community building and engagement, advocacy, and service.
