TLFB Organic Garden

About the Garden

Central to the Twin Lakes Food Bank vision of nourishing and educating the community through the benefits of fresh produce, our organic garden not only feeds our hungry neighbors but also connects our community and stewards our resources.

In 2024, the garden produced over 5,000 pounds of valuable organic fruits, vegetables, and herbs that the food insecure would not have had access to at grocery store prices. 

As we seek to promote sustainability in the food distribution system, the garden composts over 16,000 pounds of food waste annually.
