Seeds of Success
Growing Healthy Communities

Available this week at the UMD Farmers' Market (8/18/10):
Tomatoes, Basil, Cucumbers, Collards, Beets, Brussel Sprouts, Summer Squash, Winter Squash, Peppers

Do you want more fresh, healthy vegetables and herbs for you and your family?
By transforming vacant land into productive gardens, Seeds of Success is making fresh, locally grown produce available to the entire community. By volunteering with Seeds of Success, income-qualified volunteers will earn a share of the harvest, as well as recipes and ideas for how to preserve and prepare the food they’ve helped to grow.

What do the volunteers do?
Our volunteers are involved in every step of the farming process. You can help with creating beds, putting up fences, germinating, planting, weeding, watering, harvesting and more! The more time you put in, the more of the harvest you get to take home.

Do I qualify?
We welcome volunteers from all backgrounds. Participants interested in receiving a share of the harvest must meet the following income guidelines:
