Fresh Approach is a nonprofit organization that aims to create long-term change in local food systems, by connecting California communities with healthy food from California farmers and expanding knowledge about food and nutrition. As part of the industrious EPA community, we seek to foster more communal growing, sharing, and eating of fresh, local produce.
The Collective Roots Gardening Program provides an opportunity for gardening skill-building, resource sharing, and community empowerment. Through workshops, garden workdays, and community resources, we equip families with the skills and means to grow their own fresh fruits and vegetables. Volunteering at a Garden Workday may look different every time. Anyone is welcome and no experience is needed. Review the tasks you might be doing on our Volunteer Expectations and FAQ.

Mission Statement
Our mission is to create long-term change in local food systems, by connecting California communities with nourishing food from California farmers and expanding knowledge about food and nutrition.
Description
Our programs empower families to make sustainable lifestyle changes by expanding their nutrition, cooking, and gardening skills, and by boosting their access to local, affordable produce.
Local farms benefit, too, as our programs make it possible for small farms to sell in communities that would otherwise lack access to their products, while helping farmers diversify their sales through guaranteed weekly orders.
This grassroots community empowerment has a ripple effect that supports small family farms, promotes sustainability and responsible stewardship in agriculture, breaks down systemic barriers, and strengthens the local economy - all while growing community interest in healthy eating.
We believe that everyone should have equal access to healthy food, and that the health of our communities and the livelihood of our local farmers should go hand-in-hand.
