Cultivating Wellness and Community Through Urban Farming

Welcome to AboutFace Farm, the heart of Project GROW (Gardening Rehabilitation Outreach and Wellness), a pioneering initiative where community farming and veteran rehabilitation blossom together. Located in Cumming, Georgia, our farm uses innovative Tower Gardens to produce fresh, nutritious microgreens, fostering a sustainable environment for healing and growth.

Our Mission

Our mission is to harness the therapeutic power of gardening to provide veterans with a peaceful, productive environment for rehabilitation and personal growth. We believe in creating a space where veterans can thrive physically, emotionally, and socially, helping them to transition smoothly back into civilian life.

 

Wellness

Whole-Health is the goal of Project GROW. Through tower gardening, education and activities for physical, mental, spiritual, nutritional, and financial strengthening are included throughout the gardening season.  Strengthen relationships that are safe and community oriented.

Impact on Veterans

Veterans participating in Project GROW experience a range of benefits, including improved mental health, increased physical activity, and enhanced social connections. Our program also aims to reduce isolation by fostering a sense of purpose and community involvement.
