2024 was another very productive season, despite some challenges with the weather. We harvested over 50,000 pounds of sustainably-grown produce in 2024.

At least 311 members worked together in our 10 gardens located around Fargo in 2024. 121 of these members joined us occasionally. And 190 members joined us consistently, earning a full share of our harvests.

When most folks think of a community garden, they usually think of a place where everybody has their own individual small plot. We take a different approach. We have large gardens that we all share together. We all work together to share the tending, and we share the harvest. It is amazing how much food we grow when we all work together! Many of our members have never gardened before, while others have decades of experience. Everyone is welcome. There is no cost to join. All expenses are paid through our fundraising efforts. This is great way to share knowledge and make new connections. We look forward to seeing you in the garden!

On May 2, 2024, The Tomato Seed Savers Club was officially adopted as the newest Growing Together Community Garden location by our Board of Directors. This brings our total up to 10 garden locations in Fargo!

Growing Together Community Gardens 2023 Summary

always expect

Good food, great people

We've been growing food together since 2005. Our mission is to connect people in Fargo-Moorhead with affordable produce and a good community. Each of our members works for their share of the garden and takes home plenty of food for their family. And there's always extra for the food pantry!

it's simple!

you work, you eat

Each of our gardens meets at a specific time once per week for 2 hours. Members choose a garden to attend and everyone comes at the same time to work together. Once you work 20 hours, you are entitled to a full share of our harvest each time you join us in the garden!

the new american perspective

We have a heart for New American immigrants. At least 5% of Fargo's population are refugees. Many have fled war, violence, and insecurity in search of hope in the United States. Unfortunately, limited English skills often makes it hard for them to communicate or find jobs to support their families.

Growing Together first started to help immigrants feed their families and connect them with the people, resources, and language learning skills needed to join our community. Today, we have a healthy balance of New and "Not-New" American members. And everyone takes home a share!
