The mission of the Conanicut Island Growers
Group is to
Promote local farming in the community of
Jamestown on Conanicut Island in Narragansett Bay,
Rhode Island.
Advance local agriculture through individual hard
work, professional development, collaborative thinking,
innovative partnerships, recognition of both individual
and the collective good, and friendly social interaction
with each other and the community at large.
Produce economically viable and healthy agricultural
products, and make these products available to the
community.
Educate our community about the availability and superiority
of local farm products and partner with schools and
other community organizations to develop a greater
understanding of the importance of sustainable agriculture
and the value of healthy food.
It
is further the commitment of the Conanicut Island
Growers Group to accomplish these goals in a way that
is sustainable, and that recognizes the sensitive
natural environment and unique beauty of Conanicut
Island.
The Conanicut Island Growers Group
is an element of the Conanicut
Grange and all members of the Group are members
of the Conanicut Grange.
