2021 Impact Report

2021 was a year filled with challenges for our community, but also one that provided Grow Food Northampton (GFN) with many opportunities for growth and transformation. While the COVID-19 pandemic, racial injustice and violence, and food insecurity raged on, GFN worked hard to both address the immediate needs presented by the deeply flawed conventional food system, and to remediate the deep structural deficiencies of a food system built on food apartheid and a lack of access to land for growers, particularly those historically and currently marginalized and harmed by the conventional food system. 

Grow Food Northampton is proud to present to you our 2021 Impact Report that details our new approach to all that we do and that showcases our many accomplishments over the last year. The Report is also a heartfelt thank you to all of you who were right there with us in 2021 as program participants, farmers, gardeners, donors, sponsors, volunteers, learners, “cheerleaders,” board members, and sage advisors.
