We would like to extend a huge thank you to the Thrive Fund for their generous support, which enabled us to expand our Urban Agriculture Training program at the Bell Farm in 2025!

๐ŸŒฑ Meet Tony & Leo: GrowGood Bell Farm Trainees Making an Impact! ๐ŸŒฑ

Tony and Leo are two of the amazing TEN(!) individuals who have participated in our Bell Farm Urban Agriculture & Food Systems Training Program in 2025!

For Tony, working outdoors has become a form of therapy, helping him relieve stress, clear his mind, and find purpose. Heโ€™s using his military logistics experience to improve our post-harvest wash station and implement greywater collection systems at the Bell Farm.

Leo joined the program to rebuild structure and prepare for his goal of starting his own business. He says the routine, hard work, and sense of purpose have been grounding, providing a workout for both body and mind. His landscaping skills have helped keep Bell Farm beautiful and thriving ๐ŸŒพ

Weโ€™re so proud of the growth and dedication these two bring to the garden every day. ๐Ÿ’š

Programs like this combine therapy, nature, and community into a holistic space for growth, giving participants both practical skills and personal support.

Join us in congratulating Victoria on her graduation from GrowGood's 300-hour Urban Agriculture Training Program at our Bell Farm! ๐ŸŽ‰๐Ÿฅณ๐Ÿ‘

Her infectious smile, work ethic, desire to learn it all, and master chicken wrangling skills will certainly be missed!

Her contributions to the farm and the team are too many to list, but her work will live on through the crops she helped plant and the projects she completed in the program.
