About GRUB

Growing Resourcefully Uniting Bellies

GRUB is an emerging non-profit currently umbrella'd by Chico Food Network. We also operate a CSA ( community, supported, agriculture) We have been in existence for just over a year. There are several motivational factors that influence our work.

Motivation and Ethics

We want to minimize our ecological footprint. Food systems and industrial agriculture as they exist today are extremely wasteful, generating 20% of the carbon emissions for the whole country. By using organic practices & ensuring that the food we produce stays local we can minimize fossil fuel usage.

We intend to nourish our community with food and knowledge & deepen its connections. Benefit nights, volunteer days, restaurant compost pick up and time spent with kids, all contribute to our sense of community. As people continue to know their farmer, as kids learn to plant veggies & as individuals learn to collaborate & share we become closer to one another & our food ... the world is ours to create!

We are the people that we have been waiting for!
