Garden City Harvest

Current News and Happenings

It's CSA sign up time - applications are due Feburary 15th, 2010. Download the applications here for Orchard Gardens, PEAS Farm, River Road or email the office for an application (gardencityharvest[at]gmail.com). Completed applications must be accompanied by a $50 deposit and must be received by February 15, 2010.

Community Garden sign up will be different this year - if you are a new gardener you must fill out an application for a plot by March 15th - not just show up on Opening Day - to be considered. Download your application here. This year, plots will be assigned by a lottery system, rather than on a first come, first served basis. If you are a returning gardener and want to keep your plot, you must call Genevieve to confirm, and show up on opening day. Email Genevieve with any questions or concerns. Opening Day is April 3, 2010. Click here for more information.

Garden City Harvest is a United Way funded agency. Other major funding comes from a variety of supporters.

Garden City Harvest (GCH) is a collaborative effort working to provide healthy produce to Missoulians in need while educating the Missoula community and University of Montana students about sustainable food systems and agriculture.

We accomplish this with four vital programs: Community Gardens, PEAS Farm, Youth Harvest and the Community Education Program.
