Growing Places Indy

Founded in 2009, Growing Places Indy is a nonprofit organization focused on empowering individuals and communities to “Grow well, Eat well, Live well and Be well.”  To do so, it cultivates “networks of connection” by engaging individuals in urban agriculture, relationships with local farmers and local food, experiential learning, and practices for living well such as yoga, meditation, and urban bicycling.  Its programs are run out of its 7 urban micro-farms located throughout the city, where Growing Places grows 60 varieties of fruits, vegetables and herbs each year.  Growing Places donates a portion of its harvests to other community-based organizations.
