Do you want healthy, delicious food,
free of chemicals and contaminants?
Do you want your food grown
closer than 1500 miles away?
Would you like to build community
with
friends, neighbors, and the farmers of
Montgomery County, Maryland?
In another time of great challenge, Americans grew nearly
half of their own produce in millions of World War II "Victory
Gardens." As we face the many challenges of our day, it is time
for us to step up again.
Montgomery Victory Gardens is a new non-profit project devoted
to helping more individuals grow their own food, connecting us with
others who do, and creating a more vigorous, self-reliant and sustainable
local food system here in Montgomery County, Maryland.
Check out the links below, sign
up for news and updates, and visit us again as our community
grows.
Montgomery County is a
beautiful, fertile region.
Let's use it to grow our own food.
