The big idea

We’re Not Building
One Greenhouse.

We’re Building Fresh-Food Infrastructure for America.

America Grows Fresh is creating a network of professionally designed greenhouse food hubs capable of producing fresh vegetables throughout the year.

Instead of only asking how much food can be distributed today, we are asking a different question:

What can we build today that will keep producing fresh food tomorrow?

Each hub is designed to become a permanent community asset.

Growing fresh food year-round
Supporting food-security programs
Creating local jobs
Educating young people
Training workers
Engaging volunteers
Supporting local businesses
Producing revenue reinvested into the mission

Grow food.

Create jobs.

Strengthen communities.

How it works

The America Grows
Fresh Model

Six stages, in order. Each hub moves through all of them—and what we learn in the first twenty is what makes the next fifty possible.

Phase One

Phase One:
The American South

The First Regional America Grows Fresh Network

20 greenhouses.

16 states.

$10 million.

America Grows Fresh intends to establish at least one hub across the Southern regional footprint, with additional locations selected on evidence—not enthusiasm alone.

Phase One state — interest open Currently selected Future phases — the 50-state vision

How locations will be selected

Community need
Food-security needs
Local support
Land availability
Infrastructure
Water
Utilities
Greenhouse feasibility
Workforce opportunities
Schools
Nonprofit partners
Distribution networks
Local economic impact
Corporate support

We are not simply putting dots on a map.

We are building hubs that must work.

Community selection disclaimer. Community support is an important part of the America Grows Fresh site-selection process, but final locations will be selected based on multiple factors including food-security needs, land, infrastructure, utilities, feasibility, community partnerships, funding, operating economics, permitting, and long-term impact potential. Expressions of interest and public support demonstrate community demand but do not by themselves determine final site selection.

Who do you represent?

Select the option that best describes you. This routes your submission to the right team.

How would you like to support America Grows Fresh?

Select everything that may apply. Support does not have to mean money—land, water, permitting help, equipment, expertise, volunteers, and a public statement of support all move a hub forward.

Why should America Grows Fresh come to your community?

This is the most important question on the form. Tell us about your community: why America Grows Fresh is needed, what local need the project could address, what resources or partnerships your community might provide, and what a hub could mean for local families, jobs, schools, food security, and economic development.

Your community’s case *

There is no word limit. Detail is welcome.

Letter or statement of support

Would you or your organization consider providing a formal Letter of Support or Statement of Support?

Yes Possibly — please contact us Not at this time

Please contact me about providing a Letter or Statement of Support.

On how support is described. A submission is recorded as an expression of interest or a statement of support—never as an endorsement. Official support is displayed publicly only after written permission has been obtained from the individual or organization providing it.

Submitting does not guarantee that a hub will be located in your community. See the community selection disclaimer above.

Expression of Interest received

Thank you—this is exactly how a hub starts. Your submission has been recorded against your state’s Phase One file. A member of the America Grows Fresh team will follow up at the email address you provided.

Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee selection of your community for an America Grows Fresh hub. Final locations are selected on feasibility, need, infrastructure, partnerships, funding, and long-term impact.

Ways to build

There Are Many
Ways to Build This.

America Grows Fresh is not asking every community partner to write a check.

Some communities may contribute land. Some may help with water or infrastructure. Some may help navigate planning and permitting. Some companies may contribute equipment. Some may provide construction. Others may contribute technology, logistics, expertise, volunteers, or funding. Some public leaders may simply provide a statement expressing support for the mission.

All of these contributions can help bring a greenhouse food hub to life.

Everyone can bring something to the table.

Our approach

Built With Communities—
Not Dropped Into Them.

America Grows Fresh is designed as a partnership. We want each greenhouse food hub to become part of the community it serves.

America Grows Fresh brings the model, mission, fundraising capability, national network, and operating vision.

Local communities help us put down roots.

We will seek collaboration with

Municipalities
Counties
State agencies
Elected officials
Economic-development organizations
Schools
Universities
Food banks
Nonprofits
Employers
Healthcare systems
Foundations
Farmers
Local businesses
Community organizations

Public support

Communities Are
Raising Their Hands.

This section publishes verified support as it develops—letters of support, government and community backing, potential host communities, community partners, founding partners, and corporate supporters. We publish an organization or official only once written authorization has been obtained.

Nothing here is placeholder marketing. These slots are intentionally empty. America Grows Fresh does not display names, logos, or quotes until the organization or official has given written permission, and does not describe a submission as an endorsement. As verified support is received, it will appear here with the city and state, the type of support, and—where permitted—a link to the letter itself.

Phase One campaign

Help Build the First 20

America Grows Fresh is beginning with a $10 million Phase One campaign to create the first 20 greenhouse food hubs. Choose a supporter level, or give any amount you wish.

What we will not claim. We do not state that a specific gift amount purchases a specific quantity of food. Those figures will be published only once they are validated with real operational data from working hubs—and then they will be published in full.

Prefer to discuss a major gift, a foundation grant, or funding a hub outright? Contact our team directly →

Transparency & impact

You Should See What
Your Support Builds.

Every figure below will be published and kept current as Phase One proceeds. Nothing is reported before it is real.

Big ambition requires

big accountability.

National vision

The South is Phase One.

50 states is the vision.

America Grows Fresh begins by establishing a regional network across the American South. We will learn. Measure. Improve. Standardize. And expand—state by state, community by community.

20 is where we start.

50 states is where we’re going.

Where Should
We Grow Next?
