The Committee
The Committee is an eclectic group of 11 members bound by a desire to grow food locally for nutrition, mental health, educational, community and climate mitigation benefits. This is a dream team is made up of dieticians, community workers, mental health workers, therapists and academics: all focused on solving problems sustainably and long-term.
The Staff
Thanks to supportive funders we are lucky to have a team of 4 staff members working together make Campy Growers a successful community market garden
The Volunteers
Our volunteers rock! We welcome everyone (age range varies from 3 to 77 years old!) who wish to contribute to the project. Each volunteer gets a trial and a tour of the site to see if it matches their needs. It is a great opportunity to meet the rest of the team, learn lots about growing and gets your hands dirty.
We have drop-in volunteer sessions on Fridays 1-3pm and Saturdays 10am-12pm.

This is amazing. I advocate fresh and local produce. I wish we had more places offering vegetables, not processed, chopped. Just left with leaves on. Thank you!
