GRuB (Garden-Raised Bounty) grows healthy food, people and community. With roots in the land, we create opportunities for people to learn, lead, and thrive. We envision an equitable world where we are all nourished by healthy relationships, resilient community, and good food.
We recognize that all people are powerful and seek a board that represents the diversity of our community, with particular emphasis on the populations we serve through our programs.
