InterGenerate builds strong communities on a healthy planet through local food production.
Creating environmental and social sustainability around shared concerns for food security, InterGenerate reaches across traditional social boundaries to bring people together to grow our food locally, sharing the work while deepening ties to each other. InterGenerate has founded vegetable gardens and an egg coop, an unusual CSA at little or no cost, and is now expanding to bring local food production to individual homes.
Growing and harvesting our own food with our neighbors addresses many of the day's critical issues.
In the past, InterGenerate started and administrated community, communal, and teaching gardens, but having launched so many successfully, and having taken stock of the options for people in the areas, we are shifting to education and support for people to expand capacity for food production on their own property. See TAP That for more information.
InterGenerate also supports the local food movement through workshops and speaking engagements and co-sponsorship of related events.
