We Believe in Food Justice for All
Together we are growing a more equitable and sustainable food system in Southern Maine.
Food and the ability to grow it is a basic human right.
Founded in 2001, Cultivating Community is building a movement through programs that provide joyful outdoor educational experiences, fresh culturally important foods grown by and for immigrants and communities of color, and community growing spaces.

April 2024 News
his week we had a devastating setback to our farming season: For the second year, we had partnered with a local greenhouse to grow seedlings to supplement what we produce at Hurricane Valley Farm, but sadly, they have closed, breaking our contract without warning, and we are scrambling.
March 2024 News
Temperatures are rising, the sap is flowing, seeds have arrived for ~40,000 culturally important starts, and community garden registration begins next week. This all means one thing: The growing season is right around the corner!
January 2024 News
The ground may be frozen and farms blanketed in snow, but Cultivating Community’s staff are hard at work preparing for the season ahead.
December 2023 News
As we close the year and plan for next season, we are excited to share highlights from our core programs. Our work is possible because of trust, partnership, and support from our community.
