Hope Grown Here

Good Worx X Northwind Perennial Farm

For our eighth growing season we’re offering our select Hope Grown starts as a way to further message our Sunny Patch Growing Project. We’re excited to collaborate with Northwind Perennial Farm this season to raise awareness about food insecurity right here in Walworth County.

These Hope Grown starts help to fund our growing project - all food grown at our various growing locations is shared with local food pantries for some of our most at-risk neighbors. Everyone deserves access to garden fresh fruits/vegetables and herbs!

Please consider sharing any excess garden yields you may have this season with a local food pantry - our yields will be benefitting Walworth County Food & Diaper Bank and Elkhorn Food Pantry.

Our select offerings at Northwind include: Aunt Molly’s Ground Cherries, Jimmy Nardello Italian Sweet Peppers, Fish Peppers, Aji Limo Peppers (Hot) and limited release of our Cherokee Purple Tomatoes!

Many of our limited release starts are part of the Slow Food Ark of Taste collection.

Ark of Taste - Slow Food

The Ark of Taste is a living catalog of delicious and distinctive foods facing extinction. By identifying and championing these foods, we keep them in production and on our plates.

Agricultural biodiversity and small–scale, family-based food production systems are in danger throughout the world due to industrialization, genetic erosion, changing consumption patterns, climate change, the abandonment of rural areas, migration, and conflict.
