This Earth Month, we’re excited to share how we’re building a sustainable, closed-loop food ecosystem in our community—and we’d love for you to be a part of it!

Through our urban gardens and hydroponic freight farm in Minneapolis, we grow more than 1,500 pounds of fresh produce every season. The food we grow is harvested and placed directly on our food shelves, in our grocery store, and used in the prepared meals we serve to the community.
By growing our own food, we reduce the environmental impact by cutting down on the carbon footprint associated with transporting food—it’s farm-to-plate!
Located in the parking lot of our grocery store North Market, our hydroponic fright farm uses water filled with nutrients and UV light to grow produce like herbs and lettuces.
“One of the most interesting differences I’ve noticed from running the hydroponic farm, compared to outdoor farming, is the minimal water usage! It’s impressive how the farm is built to recycle its own water, making it a sustainable option for places with limited water access.”
-Lilly, Food Systems Coordinator and Hydroponic Production Specialist.
Your generous donation helps continue this important work—allowing us to grow more food and ensure that families have access to the fresh, nutritious, wholesome produce they need, all while promoting sustainability. Together, we can nurture our planet and have a lasting impact in our community.
