Project Description:
CCG’s small, low-impact farms grow organic vegetables, herbs and ornamentals. We supply local restaurants, wholesale partners and farm shareholders and we donate thousands of pounds of fresh produce to the Idaho Food Bank, to our trainees, to partner organizations and to others in need. Our CSA shareholders take home locally-grown organic vegetables each week and our trainees bring home the skills they need to thrive. Mission: Create Common Good provides training and employment to refugees and others in need. Our experiential programs transform lives and enrich communities. We build upon the generosity and creativity of our volunteers and partners… because we all have somethingto give.
