Grow Ohio Valley
Grow Ohio Valley
Mission: is build a food system in which farmers flourish and local food is a way of life. Simply put, we strive to have more people growing food, more people being educated about food and nutrition, and more availability of fresh locally grown food throughout our region.
Project & Goals: Grow Ohio Valley recognizes that the desire and demand for fresh, local produce must be coupled with the means to both access and participate in the necessary resources. Hence we are seeking a Communication Coordinator and Volunteer Coordinator VISTA. Both will connect community members with programs, information, and opportunities that serve their needs. Our diversified approach includes a SNAP-Back cooking school, SNAP-match initiative, mobile farmers market, Food Justice Immersion service program, 'Farmacy' food clinic, Garden in Every School project, Sprout to School program, Hydroponics in Schools Program, outdoor-trauma-informed education and urban farming endeavors.
