Seedlings Started in Food Cupboard's Greenhouse

Despite Spring's reluctant arrival, Sam Straddling has been hard at work in the Food Cupboard's greenhouse. The result: hundreds of small green shoots that will grow into vegetable plants clients can grow at home and for what amounts to a garden to supply fresh produce for distribution.

The greenhouse is located at the Food Cupboard, 400 Wings Way Extension. 

Sprouting under Sam's green thumb are tomatoes, peppers, broccoli, cabbage, greens and a seed catalog's worth of other vegetables. He said many will be repotted into four-packs for free distribution and others will be planted, tended and harvested.

Food Cupboard Greenhouse
Grows a Supply of Fresh Vegetables

Through the generous funding of several organization, donations by several local businesses and the hard work of volunteers the Food Cupboard now has a greenhouse in which to grow vegetable seedlings for folks who wish to plant some of their own food at home. The greenhouse will also produce some vegetables for distribution to those in need.
