Our Village Gardens

Mission

Our Village Gardens exists to serve local communities with affordable, healthy food options that allow everyone to thrive. OVG operates Village Market, the Seeds of Harmony Community Garden and the Fruits of Diversity Community Orchard. We believe that healthy food is a human right and that by organizing side-by-side with community members we can all flourish.

Bottom Line for Portland

Supporting Our Village Gardens ensures that people across our neighborhoods are benefitting from community-led solutions that equitably address the health and wellness of our neighbors. Donations support the work we do at Village Market to provide affordable groceries and culturally relevant pantry items, our work at our gardens and orchard to create access to local fresh produce, and provides job and leadership opportunities for our neighbors. We center community defined solutions for food equity and neighborhood resilience.
