GREENS FARMS GARDEN CLUB
Growing for Good (GFG) was established in 2021 by Greens Farms Garden Club. The project's purpose: to grow and deliver fresh, organic vegetables and herbs to those living in low-income areas where access to healthy, fresh foods is scarce.
In response, GFG has committed to donate our harvest to the food banks in our area.
Women Helping Women
The women of Greens Farms Garden Club are proud to serve the women of Mercy Learning Center (MLC), a non-profit educational facility providing basic literacy and life skills training to the low-income women of the greater Bridgeport area.
And right here in Westport:
Homes with Hope operates the Gillespie Center food pantry and we are happy to make contributions to this outstanding group.
Growing for Good is a simple plan and we hope to make a meaningful impact.

We are winding down our fifth year 2025 of "Growing for Good" Initiative. This year, we have donated over a 1000 pounds of fresh organic produce.
Our club has managing two gardens this year:
A private garden with 1500 square feet of tierred garden bed at Prospect Gardens and Wakeman Town Farm on Cross Highway, both in Westport. Planting and harvesting is ongoing throughout the spring, summer and into the early fall.
Our brochure HERE gives more details.
