Western Growers has partnered with the Farm Journal Foundation to bring the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s (USDA) Voice of the Farmer Garden to the National Mall in Washington D.C. – and we would love your support.

Under the oversight of USDA Natural Resources Conservation Service Chief Aubrey Bettencourt, the new interactive learning space will be a permanent outdoor exhibition where visitors can learn about American agriculture’s contribution to U.S. food security, national security, culture, economic growth and more. The garden will feature a wide variety of crops grown in America, as well as informative signage and a mobile phone walking tour with videos of farmers telling the story of agriculture in their own voices.

Currently the Garden needs financial as well as in-kind support, including crops, irrigation, agtech equipment and consultants. Details about the levels of support can be downloaded by clicking here.
