About Us
Established in 2008, Green City Growers is a purpose-driven force in the urban agriculture industry.
our purpose
Our Purpose is to provide inspiring shared experiences to connect and educate people to grow food sustainably.
The Green City Growers’ Team
Our vision for a localized food system centers on the understanding that food heals, circular economies sustain, and the joy of growing food connects us to the earth and our communities. We bring this vision to life through the success of our gardens so we create opportunities to connect with others, share knowledge, and inspire a deeper appreciation for sustainable food systems.
farming as a service (Faas)
Farming as a Service (FaaS) – We don’t just set up your garden – we actively maintain it, ensuring it thrives year after year. Our services replicate real agricultural practices to keep your garden safe, abundant, and beautiful, allowing people to enjoy and learn while we ensure its success.
our story
Our first years were small and scrappy. We began as a bootstrap organization doing residential gardens and herb gardens for small restaurants. And then it took off when we realized the power and joy of bringing farming right into the city. Flash forward 15 years and we have 200+ garden sites all over the greater Boston area. Indoor, outdoors, and even at the rooftop at Fenway Park. In partnership with Tanimura & Antle (T&A), one of the premier vegetable producers in the world, lifelong farmer, CEO Christopher Grallert, became President and co-owner in 2020. With hard work, a great team, and a leader with a combination of horticultural knowledge and entrepreneurial energy, Green City Growers is positioned to be a catalyst for food system transformation.
