The GOOD EARTH ORGANIC FARM & GARDENING CENTER

At Southside Community Land Trust, we proudly operate a network of 60 gardens and farms throughout Rhode Island. Our mission is to empower Rhode Islanders to grow and enjoy healthy food, fostering connections with the land and communities. We embrace the rich linguistic diversity in our gardens, where 34 different languages are spoken, reflecting the multicultural essence of our community.

Our farms serve as fertile grounds for 30 farm businesses to flourish, contributing to our local food system and ensuring food security for all. In 2024, over 23,250 people benefited from our programs, enjoying access to fresh, sustainable produce and learning valuable farming and gardening skills.

We acknowledge our presence on land historically inhabited by the Narragansett, Pokanoket, Nipmuc, and Wampanoag tribes. We are committed to understanding and supporting Indigenous peoples, working to mend historical injustices by improving access to healthy food.
