Community Gardens

Community Gardens give space, water, and tools to grow food for yourself and your family (and probably your friends, too!). Great for folks who don’t have space at home, need a fence, or want to make new friends.

“My father passed away suddenly in august. The moment I found out, I headed straight to my garden. I cried. I sat in stillness. My garden provided me a safe space to start the grieving process. It embraced my wounded soul and provided some solace at a time I needed it most. I will never forget it.”

- Lydia Faller, Community Gardener

Neighborhood Farms

We grow beautiful produce for all in our community: from customers at the Missoula Food Bank to CSA farm share members. These urban farms grow food with the community, for the community.

“Truly fulfilling food on so many levels - nutrition, family connection, community, environment.”

- Annie Florin, River Road CSA farm share member

Who doesn’t love flowers? There’s nothing I love more than wandering around one of our neighborhood farms or gardens mid-summer and admiring the pops of color and intricate details of the different flower varieties. But those days seem far away when fall and winter roll around. Luckily, there’s a way to have gorgeous flowers year-round - and it doesn’t involve shipping them across the world!

We couldn’t resist asking Paige about her highly anticipated Blueberry BBQ sauce that she’s making for the Farm Party. With a touch of mystery, here’s what she had to say:
