Mission, Vision & Impact

Mill City Grows is dedicated to creating a more food secure and sustainable community

Mission & Vision

Mill City Grows fosters food justice by improving physical health, economic independence, and environmental sustainability in Lowell through increased access to land, locally grown food, and education.

Our vision is a community that understands how to grow and prepare fresh food to support the long-term health of people and the land. Equitable access to land, knowledge, and fresh, culturally connected food is necessary for positive health outcomes, sustainable food policies, and access to life-giving food for our entire community.

Program Impact  |  Annual Report 2024

Mill City Grows shares our success with our grantors, sponsors, individual donors, volunteers, program partners, and faithful Mobile Farmers Market customers. With your support, we continue to transform underutilized land into thriving food production sites and empower persons all ages, abilities, and backgrounds to grow the fresh food they want to eat. Your shared passion fuels this work and inspires our team from season to season. Thank you!
