Mill City Grows' mission is to improve physical health, economic independence and environmental sustainability in Lowell through increased access to land, locally grown food and education. Mill City Grows (MCG) has been working on innovative ways to combat food injustice in Lowell, Massachusetts since 2011. We pursue this mission through the following strategies and programs: education both in and out of schools, supporting community leadership through community gardens, increasing urban agriculture in Lowell through two urban farms, implementing a mobile market, and empowering people to produce their own food. MCG’s two main program areas are Food Access and Food Education. Our work in Food Justice is rooted in the idea that a well-educated community will make healthier choices.
