The urgency to produce fresh fruits and vegetables at a hyper-local level has never been greater.
Our Northeast Minneapolis neighbors (including seniors, Veterans, children, the disabled, those that are chronically ill, families, and individuals, who are, or who may soon become food-insecure), need reliable, nutritious, fresh produce. This is especially important at a time when resources along our entire food chain are becoming more and more precarious and expensive.
Collectively, however, we have the power to greatly improve the availability and accessibility of fresh food for our neighbors in need. The Audubon Neighborhood Association, starting during the pandemic, established the Northeast Emergency Food Growers Network to start seeds, grow seedlings for distribution to volunteer gardeners, then help harvest, collect and distribute produce to partners such as Loaves & Fishes, food shelves and local places of worship. We need you!!
How does it work? The Network is an organized way to ensure a variety of produce will be grown with new gardeners growing easy vegetables, fruits, and herbs, and more experienced gardeners tackling more challenging produce. Gardeners select two or three varieties of produce, agree to set aside a small section of their gardens specifically dedicated for the Northeast Emergency Food Growers Network. Gardeners also agree to use organic methods for growing.

When produce is ready for harvest, a staging area will be set up for easy collection and distribution in our Northeast Market Garden. Please consider participating as a neighborhood gardener or supporter and join the Northeast Emergency Food Growers Network. You will receive a free small yard sign signifying that you are a member of the Network. We may also have growing resources available for those that join the Network early. We need all garden skill levels! If interested in learning more, please contact Audubon Executive Director, Deborah Brister at deborah@audubonneighborhood.org.
