Grow a Row will commence our presence at the Downtown Public Market on Saturday June 12th from 2-4pm. Look for us to drop off any produce you wish to donate, or just come by to say hello!
We will be at the market every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from now until October. And of course, you can drop off your produce at the Partners in Mission Food Bank (140 Hickson Ave) Monday – Friday from 9am-12pm and 1pm-4pm. Please state that your donation is for Grow a Row, so that it can be counted towards our goal of achieving 4000 lbs of donated locally grown food!
Starlight Cascade Gardens is outside of Yarker which includes a greenhouse to help produce the seedlings for the 1400 sq ft of garden space. They grow organic garlic, and heirloom vegetables. This year they are growing a couple of rows for carrots for the Food Bank. Thank you Kim Hay & Kevin Kell!

Georgette Fry is an award winning Blues artist, the director of the choir Shout Sister! and an avid gardener. She will grow “what ever you tell me” so let’s call it Tomatoes for Grow a Row. We only hope that her dogs, Harley and Dekker, will allow it in “their” yard.
