The Nashville Food Project’s Community Agriculture Network is more than gardens and orchards. It is part of a growing, citywide effort to expand food access, protect green space, and bring neighbors together through shared work.

The Nashville Food Project provides backbone support including tools, training, volunteers, and resources so that garden leaders can focus on growing food and cultivating community. Harvests are shared freely or at low cost, helping ensure that neighbors in low income, low access neighborhoods have access to fresh, nourishing produce.

With each season, volunteers help transform these spaces into places of learning, connection, and resilience, where food and community continue to grow side by side.
