Mission Statement
Our mission is to empower people to engage in local food production and to use resources available in their community in new and inspiring ways. We do so by connecting people to a creative network of spaces and opportunities. Working in the middle of Salt Lake City’s urban landscape, we are challenging ourselves and our city to look at natural resources, food systems, and community involvement in innovative ways.
About This Cause
We believe that fresh quality food is a human right and aim to empower our community to make it available for all using resources that already exist. Our Back-Farms program brings locally grown food, companionship, and assistance to low-income senior citizens by maintaining gardens in senior citizens’ backyards. Our FruitShare program works with homeowners to care for and harvest their previously neglected fruit trees. The bounty of fruit is shared among the homeowner, volunteers, and local hunger relief programs. The Small Farms Initiative (SFI) is a hands-on farmer training program that was created to empower young entrepreneurs by providing them with the skills and resources to become the next generation of urban farmers. Our Free Farm Stands tie it all together and ensure that our produce reaches low-income senior citizens and other vulnerable populations that are not traditionally served by other hunger relief organizations.
