Growfood.org

GrowFood connects farmers interested in teaching with people interested in farming. We can help you: Work on a farm this weekend; give your kids a real farming adventure; spend some time working in exchange for room, board, and experience; build a career for a lifetime.

And change the world. Our mission is to help grow a community of 50 million new small-scale organic farmers. That's how many it will take to break America's dependency on factory food.
