With gardening, …there is no one story. It is a story that continues to unfold like the petals of a beautiful flower, we love it. Thank you for helping us make food production real to our children and gardening a life long joy.
Who We Are
Western Growers
Western Growers is an 80+ year old association of California and Arizona farmers -- many of which are multi-generational family farms -- who grow, pack and ship almost one-half of the nation's produce.
We love what we do; our members grow the best medicine in the world!
Western Growers Foundation
Founded in 1995 at the request of Western Growers members, Western Growers Foundation was created as a way for our association to give back to our community. In 2003, the Foundation set the goal of raising funds for a garden in every interested school in Arizona and California and created the School Garden Program. Since then, WGF has committed nearly $700,000 to more than 500 schools to assist in establishing and sustaining garden-based nutrition education programs.
Western Growers Foundation Mission
