This week we started harvesting one of our summer favorites: okra! 💚 Also known across Latin America and the Caribbean as molondrón, quimbombó, gumbo, and ñajú.
This powerhouse veggie is packed with fiber, vitamins, folate, and antioxidants—and it’s delicious grilled, roasted, sautéed, or added to soups and stews.
Another beautiful harvest grown right here in Lawrence, at our Costello Urban Farm. 🌱

Our Green Team — Lawrence’s youth — is playing an important role in bringing attention to the environmental challenges our community faces.

Through - MA, young people are not only learning about the impacts of air pollution, but also using their voices, experiences, and ideas to help shape solutions for a healthier, more climate-resilient Lawrence.

And just like that we bring another Summer Green Team to an end. The last two days have been spent celebrating the whole team and their hard work with a field day and a summer showcase.

The Green Team had water balloon fights among other field day activities before taking on the Groundwork staff in a game of kickball (Staff won 8 - 7 fwiw). They then showcased all their hard work in the form of presentations and videos.

Once again Lawrence youth impress and we're proud to have them be a part of Groundwork!

We’re still thinking about this great day at Costello Urban Farm when the Whole Foods Andover team came out to volunteer with us.

Together we planted tomatoes and peppers and prepped greenhouse soil for the season ahead.

Moments like these show what community looks like in action—showing up, getting our hands in the soil, and growing together.

Todavía recordamos este gran día en la Granja Urbana Costello Urban cuando el equipo de Whole Foods Andover vino a voluntariar con nosotros.

Juntos plantamos tomates y pimientos, y preparamos el suelo del invernadero para la temporada.

Momentos como estos muestran lo que es la comunidad en acción: estar presentes, ensuciarnos las manos y crecer juntos.
