Community Gardens
Wyoming Food for Thought Project offers a variety of different garden types at our Urban Farm, and throughout the Casper community. Many of our gardens are a part of a Food is Free Project, where we simply plant gardens and people can pick the produce from them for free, no questions asked. The other garden type is a community garden space where people can rent a garden plot from us for just $10 a summer. Both of these garden types are great contributors to our community, in that they provide anyone, regardless of their socioeconomic status, with healthy, locally grown produce. People who rent a bed get the firsthand experience of watching their food grow from seed, and gain a sense of self-sustainability.
