FoodShare Co-op

🥕At The Root 66 Garden we believe everyone deserves access to fresh, nutritious food—regardless of their circumstances. That’s why we created the FoodShare Co-op: a community-based initiative where we grow together, share together, and give back together.

When you join, you contribute just 2 hours of your time each month, and in return you can join monthly agricultural workshops and take home a portion of what we grow, too. In addition, any excess harvest is donated to local food banks and families in need, so that nothing goes to waste and everyone benefits. From seasonal vegetables, herbs and eggs to garden-grown fruits, we make sure our abundance supports both your table and your neighbors. 

How it works:

• You commit a minimum of 2 hours/month to help with our garden tasks—planting, weeding, harvesting, packaging, or other volunteer tasks.
• You pay a fee of $15/month or $150/year.
• You receive your share of fresh, seasonal produce from The Root 66 Garden each week (or as often as harvest allows).
• You are invited to join special FoodShare agricultural education classes held the first Saturday of every month. 
• Any produce beyond what we share with co-op participants and Root 66 Urban Gardeners is donated to local food banks and families in need.
• By participating you also build community ties, share knowledge, learn new skills, and help strengthen the local food system.

Why join?

• Eat fresh, garden-grown food for your family.
• Give back to your neighbors in need through the donation of excess produce.
• Build skills in gardening, harvesting, collaboration and community leadership.
• Connect with others, reduce stress, and participate in something meaningful.
• Support The Root 66 Garden’s mission of sustainability and food access.
