In Fall 2025, The Giving Garden merged with beloved local nonprofit, Working Food — an organization growing resilience and equity in our local food system for over 14 years.

We are proud to be a Working Food farm — now one of several Giving Gardens in Alachua County that grow food, education, seeds, and opportunity in our community.

Now unified, our reach is greater, our impact is stronger, and possibilities for creating positive change are more abundant. Read about our merge here.

Giving Garden — A Working Food Farm
We are a community-led farm combating food insecurity by donating produce and educating our community in horticulture.
Our urban farm is a safe space for community to come together to grow food *for community*, and along the way — learn how to cultivate food sovereignty, together.

We believe that fresh food is medicine — for our bodies, and for healing disparate communities.

We grow and donate our organic produce to uplift local food security.

We are a safe space for horticulture education for all.

Through education and food production, Working Food’s Giving Garden Farm is dedicated to uplifting equitable fresh food access and food sovereignty in Alachua County.

“We love all of the greens that were given.

I’m also loving the recipe cards. They are great - the different meal ideas are a plus for my family. Today I’m going to prepare the stir fry greens recipe. I’m looking forward to more different ways to enjoy great food from the Giving Garden. Thank you so much.”
