Two Weeks Left to Win $65,000 for Your Urban Farm or Garden

Two weeks remain to apply and vote for the Gardens for Good contest, hosted on Facebook and sponsored by Nature's Path Organic Foods. The organic breakfast foods and snacks company will award $65,000 in grant funding to help urban farms and community gardens produce fresh organic food. The goal of the contest is to promote healthy, organic, local food systems as a means to food sustainability. Applications are now being accepted at www.facebook.com/naturespath.

So far, thirty-nine urban farms and gardens from a wide variety of cities have applied, and over 16,000 votes have been recorded. Still, there is plenty of time to submit your idea, invite your friends, family, and colleagues to vote, and earn the grant to make a significant impact on your community.
