New Hampshire Food Bank Production Garden (Off-Site Location)

Our Mission 

The Mission of the New Hampshire Food Bank is to feed hungry people by soliciting and effectively distributing grocery products and perishable foods, and offering innovative programs through a statewide network of approved agencies; by advocating for systemic change; and by educating the public about the nature of, and solutions to, problems of hunger in New Hampshire.

About The Garden

The New Hampshire Food Bank’s production garden was started in 2008 with the goal of providing fresh produce for our Recipe for Success Culinary Job Training program, the Cooking Matters® program, and for distribution to our agencies. The garden is also an educational tool for the larger community, community groups, and corporate volunteers. It is located on an acre of land in North Manchester. Over the last three years, we have grown tomatoes, corn, kabocha, summer squash, zucchini, green beans, cucumbers, butternut squash, buttercup, and eggplant just to name a few!

How You Can Help!

During the spring, we need volunteers to help us prepare our garden for planting. The summer months are filled with watering, weeding, and harvesting some produce, and the fall is filled with harvesting as well as maintenance.  Come enjoy the outdoors with this fun opportunity to make a difference in your community!

**PLEASE NOTE:  These tasks are performed outdoors and volunteers should be prepared for physical activity in all weather conditions.**
