Mission

We plant seeds and grow together to create a healthy Missoula on our over 20 neighborhood farms, school gardens, and community gardens.

Vision

We envision a connected community where everyone values and has access to healthy, local food.

Programs

We accomplish our mission through four main programs:

Values

The board and staff of Garden City Harvest hold these values at the core of what we do. We strive to live these values and continually create this culture each day.

We collaborate – we work cooperatively at all levels and deeply value our relationships.

We are rooted in this land and this place – grateful for their gifts and committed to giving back.

We believe in the power of curiosity and learning – this is what brings our mission to life.

We foster joy and connection through humble work.

We work from a foundation of trust and respect – acting with integrity, compassion, and gratitude.

History

Garden City Harvest was established in 1996 to provide local, sustainably grown produce to those in need. We are reviving the tradition of producing our own food for our community, focusing on the 20% of Missoulians who live in poverty. We started small, with a community garden and the beginnings of a student farm – what would become the PEAS Farm – and grew from there.
