Springfield Community Gardens

This connection feels especially meaningful to us. A few weeks ago, we had the chance to visit Dave and Ann of at Elder Farms in Mount Vernon. During our visit, we learned that a couple of their employees have a side project growing garlic on their farm, so it was especially exciting to see those fresh garlic scapes making their way into on C-Street this week.

These are the kinds of connections that strengthen our local food system: growers supporting growers, local farms supplying local restaurants, and relationships growing right alongside the food. Thank you for being part of the journey with us!

We love you guys and cannot wait to harvest the “fruits” of our shared labor!

SCG has 17 employees! We will be sharing each employee and their position with SCG over the coming weeks so you can be sure to say “Hi” when you see them!

Kevin Prather is our education lead for vegetable production. He and his wife, Carsen own Hazel Pine Farm. We are happy to have them as part of our community network of knowledgeable farmers!
