Growing Home believes that everyone deserves access to a good job and good food. They operate a robust farm-based employment training program that aims to increase employment opportunities for individuals with extreme barriers to workforce entry. This unique 12-week program provides participants with up to 25 hours per week of paid hands-on field work, classroom training and individualized case management. Growing Home empowers individuals with the tools, connections and confidence to find and keep stable jobs, providing a path out of poverty and towards self-sufficiency.as the first and only usda-certified organic farms in the city, Growing Home is also helping to redefine local and accessible food systems. By offering high-quality produce at reduced prices and providing cooking and nutrition workshops, they are addressing the multiple barriers to food security and community health.in 2021, Growing Home switched back to a farmer's market model from the 2020 csa-delivery model, delivering nutritious food boxes door-to-door to neighbors in need. As well, through online cooking demonstrations, small volunteer groups, food drives and donation events, Growing Home still prioritized food education and access throughout the stay-at-home orders.
