Our mission is simple. We farm to grow.

We grow leaders. We provide year-round programs for participants, both youth and adults. We cultivate leadership through planting, growing, preparing and selling the food we grow. We farm to educate and train through gardens and greenhouses.

We grow food. From strawberries to radishes we seed, plant, grow and harvest our food and bring it to our communities’ forks. We feed families through our CSA, community dinners and other neighborhood events.

We grow community. We live in and work in vibrant and diverse Indianapolis neighborhoods. We aspire to build connections through partnerships and outreach within our community.

We grow progress. Since 2017 we have developed programs and initiatives that support the advancement of food security in our neighborhoods.

Social justice work through food has a unique capacity to recruit diverse participants through its universal application: we all have to eat. Simultaneously, responsible farming practices directly impact participants’ and neighbors’ ecosystems internally and externally.

It has been a crazy year for Soul Food Project as we work to build a just and equitable food system in Indianapolis. As we gear up for our 7th growing season, your donation will help sustain our farming operations.
