Our Story
Welcome to GrowPreneurs, where our journey is rooted in the soil of community, sustainability, and resilience. Born from the collective vision of small farmers and advocates for food justice, GrowPreneurs emerged as a beacon of hope and action in the heart of Jackson, MS. Our founding members, a diverse group of passionate individuals, recognized the urgent need to address food insecurity, advocate for sustainable practices, and empower communities through education and active participation in local food systems.
Our Vision
At GrowPreneurs, we envision a world where food sovereignty is not just a concept but a lived reality for every community. We dream of a future where every individual has access to nutritious, affordable, and culturally relevant food, grown in ways that nurture our planet. Our vision extends beyond the fields and into the hearts of communities, fostering a deep connection between people and the food they consume.
Our Mission
Our mission is to transform the local food landscape by empowering small farmers, educating communities, and advocating for policies that promote food justice and sustainability. We strive to form a strong food policy council that not only voices the concerns of local farmers but also actively works towards creating equitable food systems. Our goal is to make food sovereignty a cornerstone of community development and environmental stewardship.
