The Growing Project works to address food insecurity in Larimer County by making fresh, regional food more accessible to community members. This is achieved through establishing community gardens; providing educational programs on nutrition, sustainable agriculture, and permaculture; and leading advocacy efforts that promote community access to locally grown food. Their Urban Foods Outreach installs community gardens in low-income areas based on need and interest of the community. In 2015 they hope to create a more permanent home base garden location within one of the community we work with, work with more disadvantaged youth, increase awareness of foraged edible plants. The Growing Project provides programming for at-risk/disadvantaged youth in the garden including helping youth harvest produce from thier educational garden for youth-ran, free farmers markets at low-income neighborhoods and nonprofits.
