We’re happy to work alongside Maple City Market to build a stronger food system that prioritizes food equity and community health and wellness. What a joy to grow produce with a purpose and make nourishing, fresh food available throughout our community! 💚

🌱We love supporting organizations that help our local community grow! Green Bridge Growers is a Maple City Market vendor/grower, based in South Bend. They are a nonprofit that brings together local food, sustainability, and inclusive employment. They grow fresh produce using sustainable methods while creating meaningful job opportunities for autistic youth and young adults💚

Their work is a beautiful example of how local food can nourish our community in more ways than one. We’re proud to support the good work they’re doing right here in Michiana!🌿

Thanks for delivering to the co-op this week, Jan!🙌🏽

Collards Galore! 🥬🥬 We love growing these nutrient-dense, oh-so-healthy greens for the community! With the outstanding help of students and faculty from Notre Dame Law School, we harvested 300 pounds in a day for Region Roots Local Farm and Food Hub to benefit food insecure seniors in our region. Pair that with another 100 pounds of collards harvested with friends from United Way of St. Joseph County and the Mishawaka Young Adult Program - what a banner week for collards at GBG! We’re very grateful to join with these amazing community partners to work to improve food access across our region.

What a beautiful, nourishing morning with United Way of St. Joseph County! Our veggies have continued to come on strong and with the help of some amazing volunteers we harvested 190 pounds of peppers, collards and beans that were delivered to Food Bank of Northern Indiana by noontime. And of course, touring our aquaponics greenhouse and tending our fish never disappoints! It’s a great privilege to collaborate with United Way to work toward food equity for all members of our community.

Our volunteers from Granger Community Church and the South Bend Re-Entry Center brought sunshine, smiles, and energy during their day serving with us. A head start on putting fields to bed and keeping us on track harvesting our bumper crop of beans! What a terrific contribution toward ensuring all community members have access to nourishing, healthy food. Our hearts are full!

Rain or shine, the Duncan Hall at Notre Dame are always terrific and ready to dig in and make a difference for the community! Farm Dog Fia loves hanging with them and cheering them on. We always have happy, productive days on the farm when they’re around!

Our Green Bridge Growers team hustled at the end of our workweek to harvest and package 1200 pounds of produce in 24 hours! Along with other Indiana farmers, we assisted World Central Kitchen in feeding Gary citizens impacted by severe power outages the last two weeks. WCK is also supporting local farms like ours by compensating our produce at market value - a win-win for both growers and those in great need of food right now. Thanks to our friends at Northwest Indiana Food Policy Council for connecting us to this project to feed and support our fellow Hoosiers during their time of need.

It was all-hands on deck when we needed to replace two layers of plastic covering our aquaponic greenhouse last week. Big thanks to the fantastic volunteers from ND Family Camp who did the repair and got the job done with our team!
