Growing a Healthy Community
Project GROWS is a nonprofit educational farm in Augusta County, Virginia. We are improving the health of our community through affordable food markets and extensive food education programs.
Our Farm
We use organic practices to grow over 200,000 servings of food each year on our 10 acre farm in Verona, Virginia.
Educational spaces combined with commercial production equipment allow us to provide food to people of all ages.
Fresh Food
Everyone should be able to buy fresh, local, and affordable food. We connect schools with producers, host weekly farmers markets, and sell food through our mobile farmers markets.
You can double SNAP-EBT (food stamps) benefits at all of our markets.
Food Education
The more children understand where their food comes from, the more likely they are to eat healthy! That’s why we offer youth jobs, summer camps and field trips at our farm.
Bring your students to the farm or find out how your school can purchase local produce!

Our Mission
In 2010, a Community Health Needs Assessment conducted by Augusta Health found that our community was experiencing both high rates of hunger and food insecurity, as well as high rates of diet-related chronic disease. Project GROWS was founded with a focus on food education and food access as solutions to improving long-term health and food security.
Our mission is to grow a healthy community by connecting all people to nutritious foods.
