Mom’s Garden is an homage to farmer Dee’s mother Zoua. Together, they grow a variety of organic vegetables at Big River Farms. Their delicious produce is sold at the Kingfield and Midtown Farmers Markets, and to a number of The Food Group’s agency partners so that their food shelf customers have access to fresh, nutritious veggies.

Food Bank
or Food Shelf?
The Food Group is a food bank that supplies other hunger relief agencies with fresh produce, frozen meat, grocery staples, and other household necessities. Food shelves distribute free food to individuals and families in their local communities.
The Food Group believes in food equity. They believe in culturally specific foods. They believe in meeting people where they are at. And most of all, they believe in dignity.

At Big River Farms, we believe everyone who wants to start a sustainable farm should have access to education, land, infrastructure, markets, resources, and connections to meet their goals.
