Our Mission

The mission of the EGP is to:

• increase access to fruits and vegetables and to garden space for those most in need on the North Shore
• increase land used for fruit and vegetable production on the North Shore
• increase knowledge and skills relating to food gardening, thereby increasing community capacity to grow and share locally grown fruits and vegetables
• advise on and support policy development around urban agriculture.

Providing opportunities for low-income individuals and families is a priority.
