Growing Roots

Growing Roots provides families direct access to produce grown on Emerson’s Middle School campus through the Grocery Pick-Up program. To increase capacity and provide an agricultural education, an Urban Farmer and Farm Youth Educator is essential. In conjunction, they would direct the growing operation to ensure sufficient production for weekly food distribution, provide an agriculture education for students, coordinate with teachers, and deepen the relationship between Growing Roots and Pomona Unified School District.
