> $10 at the door In 1993, Growing Power was an organization with teens

> needed a place to work. Will Allen was a farmer with land. Will 
> designed a
> program that offered teens an opportunity to work at his store and renovate
> the greenhouses to grow food for their community. What started as a simple
> partnership to change the landscape of the north side of Milwaukee has
> blossomed into a national and global commitment to sustainable food systems.
> Since its inception, Growing Power has served as a ”living museum” or 
> “idea
> factory” for the young, the elderly, farmers, producers, and other
> professionals ranging from USDA personnel to urban planners.
> 
> Will believes, “If people can grow safe, healthy, affordable food, if 
> they
> have access to land and clean water, this is transformative on every level
> in a community. I believe we cannot have healthy communities without a
> healthy food system.”
> 
> Growing Power is now a national nonprofit organization and land trust
> supporting people from diverse backgrounds, and the environments in which
> they live, by helping to provide equal access to healthy, 
> high-quality, safe
> and affordable food for people in all communities. Growing Power implements
> this mission by providing hands-on training, on-the-ground demonstration,
> outreach and technical assistance through the development of Community 
> Food
> Systems that help people grow, process, market and distribute food in 
> a
> sustainable manner. You can also read more at www.growingpower.org. *
