| What is DIGG? |
Decatur Is Growing Gardeners (DIGG), Inc., is an urban farming initiative in Decatur, IL, whose purpose is to create employment and entrepreneurial opportunities for low-income residents through growing vegetables and fruits sustainably. Produce from DIGG and partner gardens is sold at market, donated to food pantries, and shared with growers and community members. Canning, freezing and dehydrating is also done in DIGG's certified kitchen at 543 N. Water St., Decatur. |
|
Our Mission: |
To enrich and to nourish the Decatur-Macon County community by helping those who are hungry and who want to work to grow their own food -- especially those who are socially, developmentally, or economically disadvantaged. | |
