Gardening The Community
About
Gardening the Community (GTC) is a youth-led food justice and urban agriculture organization based in Springfield. We grow organic fruits and vegetables on empty lots and organize for a healthy and equitable local food system. We sell at our Hancock Street farm stand and the Mason Square Farmers’ Market, and run an affordable CSA program called GTC EATS! We grow community, youth leadership, activism, and just food.

GTC EATS! is our Farm Share Program (also known as a CSA – Community Supported Agriculture) which brings healthy, fresh food to families in Mason Square and surrounding neighborhoods.
GTC EATS! members register for a weekly share of fresh, local, organic vegetables which are grown at Next Barn Over Farm in Hadley, MA. This is one of many ways we continue to build connections between farmers, families and access to local, healthy, affordable food.
