Happy Earth Day! Celebrate spring and our natural world by getting involved with local food justice work at Cultivating Community. This is our busiest time of year, and we are getting into the swing of the growing season. This week, community garden registration is underway, we’re potting up seedlings at the farm, school gardens are waking up with spring planting, and our staff is working hand in hand with our partners to fight for our local food system and the rights and safety of immigrant and marginalized farmers.
