Winter may be a time for slowing down, but at Cultivating Community we are just getting warmed up as staff and new leadership reflect on lessons learned from the growing season.

As Cultivating Community welcomes autumn and celebrates the harvest, we are reflecting on what has been a challenging growing season and a summer of renewal.

August is the peak season for local growers. With abundant produce available at local markets it’s also the perfect time to celebrate last week’s National Farmers Market Week.

Though the soggy soil may disagree, it’s officially summer across Cultivating Community’s programs. Find out more about our work and ways to get involved.

The first spring veggies are starting to be harvested and thousands of seedlings are yet to be planted. Summer is waiting on just a little more sun, but fresh, locally grown food will soon begin to flow.
