Dear Friends,
As we approach the end of the year, we look forward to sitting down with our families and friends to enjoy a wonderful holiday meal. Unfortunately, many in our local communities will not have this abundant meal. A recent government report indicates that one in six of our citizens are hungry. Our current industrial food system uses almost 25% of our resources to produce and deliver food from far away farms into our communities. Our school youth are often served unhealthy meals. All in all, much of the food we eat lacks the nutrients that we need to sustain ourselves. It is time for us to fix our broken food system.

A recent government report states that 1 out of 6 Americans are hungry.

We believe that this is the only solution.
We need to take action now in order to build this new sustainable food system.

It’s Fall harvest time , so let’s get our natural good food to all community. But don’t stop here, let’s start planting now for the winter and spring. Good, natural food should be available year round. Let’s continue to grow the Good Food Revolution. - Will Allen
Year round production is possible!

We do it here in Wisconsin, so it can be done anywhere. Growing Power has received many inquiries for advice on our food systems and techniques. As much as we would like to, we are unable to answer all of the requests individually, we hope those who ask will be able to attend one of our workshops sessions. The last one remaining for the year is Oct 29th and will be conducted by Will Allen. More information here.
