Growing Community

The Root 66 Community Garden is a collaborative non-profit community project founded in 2009. Our mission is to create & sustain a community garden and  FoodShare Project which will serve to improve the quality of life throughout the local communities of western San Bernardino County. The Root 66 Garden serves to educate, strengthen community spirit, create therapeutic environments and provide locally and organically grown fresh fruits and  vegetables for the community.

Good for Everyone

Together We Will Grow

Growing Community

There is a growing national awareness of the value of locally grown produce that can enhance the health and wellbeing of the community's citizens. With the development of the Root 66 Garden's FoodShare Project, it is our intention to increase the access to low-cost and free, locally grown fresh fruits and vegetables, a portion of which will be delivered to those who are home-bound.

Local History

Cucamonga's first large agricultural development began in 1838. By 1917, Cucamonga's vineyards spanned over 20,000 acres. Rancho Cucamonga is also home to the first and oldest winery building in California, established in 1839 and identified as California Historic Landmark No. 490. Today, only a few of the valley's original wine growing family operations remain with less than 800 vineyard acres. Revitalizing our local history and preserving our viticulture heritage is a vital aspect of our history and community.

Education Opportunities

The Root 66 Community Garden provides educational opportunities, not only for our children, but for everyone within the community. Teach your children how to grow their own food, help them reconnect with the soil, and give them a lifetime of health and well-being. We all need a place to play in the dirt.
