Community CROPS

Rezumat

Mission Statement - Community CROPS (Combining Resources, Opportunities, and People for Sustainability) helps people work together to grow healthy food and live sustainably.

Vision Statement - Lincoln is a community that values all people and where everyone has access to locally grown healthy food. Our community grows together, celebrating life and culture and recognizing our connection to the Earth.

Our gardens provide the opportunity to share knowledge, educate, experience personal growth, and provide green spaces for mental, spiritual and physical healing and well-being.

We are creating a resilient system where people can earn a living by feeding our community and conserve precious resources for future generations.

History - Community CROPS was started with one community garden in 2003, and has grown over the years to become a successful organization. CROPS now has fifteen community garden sites, a training farm, a successful Community Supported Agriculture program, a regular stand at the Old Cheney Road Farmers' Market, and more.

Community CROPS currently has five full-time staff positions, four part-time staff, three AmeriCorps members, and numerous volunteers who help with our projects, as well as a great group of farmers and gardeners.
