Garden To Table Program

You are here: Home / Garden To Table Program


The 2025 Garden Season is Here!

The Garden To Table program provides individuals and families who struggle with food insecurity access to the resources necessary to grow their own healthy food! To be food insecure means you have a hard time getting enough affordable, nutritious food for yourself and/or your household.

We have begun accepting applications for the 2025 garden season. Previous gardeners and people in need of food support in Dakota County have first choice of garden plots. Previous Giving Gardeners and volunteers who would like to grow food specifically for The Open Door food pantry have second choice!
