to support their mission of growing healthier and more prosperous neighborhoods, through innovative agriculture and education programs. greensgrow started in 1997, and really was a response to restaurants not having access to fresh produce. the novel idea was... can we put a farm in the heart of the city and really put food directly accessible to the people that were eating it. we're making sure that we're reaching all corners of this city and to make sure that they have access to fresh local produce, to a community greening, to our workshops, to education, to a space where they feel like they can come in and just enjoy themselves. i think the impact that greensgrow has on the community is amazing. what they do and what they stand for is really important. with support from target, greensgrow offers free food and fitness activities at its farm sites. engaging children in culinary literacy and routine physical exercise. when ryan told us about the support that we were getting from target i was -- i was completely excited and floored. having partnerships like we do at target helps people along this journey

to creating a better, more prosperous, healthier community for themselves. target is basically in everybody's community. so, i think it's very important for us to come outside of target and really be inside of peoples' communities as well. target has been essential to a lot of our growth, and a lot of our programs that we've been able to start this year. we're consistently achieving our mission and listening to the needs of the people who we serve. urban agriculture has the potential to play a major role in the future of food. with the help of target, greensgrow is empowering and inspiring philadelphia's next generation of young farmers. cbs eye on the community is sponsored by target. making our community even better, together.
