What a year!

We’ve had an amazing year here at Grow Oak Ridge, connecting locally grown food with the public in Anderson County, TN and surrounding areas.

NEW this year - We launched Grow Your Own: Backyard & Community Gardening, a new program that has helped 14 families learn to grow their own food. They’ve received seeds, seedlings, hand tools, organic fertilizers, and most importantly, their very own garden “coach” to help them along the way. Each family has grown close to 75 pounds of food, wow!

We also provided affordable selling venues for 41 small businesses through our Winter Farmers Market and Market-To-Go programs.

In Nourish Kids Club, we served 820 children and gave away more than $4,000 in local produce to kids!

And of course we offer Double Up Food Bucks at both of our markets, bringing an extra $20 in fresh produce to those who use their SNAP benefits at our markets.

Won’t you join us today, and donate to Grow Oak Ridge? Together we’re making Oak Ridge and surrounding communities healthier, and supporting a thriving local economy as well.
