Veggielution

Veggielution is a unique community farm, with a mission to connect people from diverse backgrounds outdoorsthrough food and farming to build community in East San José. Veggielution mobilizes volunteers to cultivate and grow healthy crops, which are then made available to our program participants and other local residents. 

Through food-centered programs for all ages, Veggielution connects residents to each other and to people and resources from outside their community that will enable them to make change. Their farm provides a critical platform for these programs. Many East San José residents have deep and meaningful connections to agriculture. Veggielution seeks to use their farm as a safe, accessible and well-maintained gathering space for the East San José community to reconnect to the land and to each other.

SJMQT is proud to partner with Veggielution’s program, Eastside Connect, which provides 40 low-income families from East San Jose with produce boxes and various supplies during the shelter at home. Every other week, the Museum prepares 40 art kits to go in the produce boxes, so families have art projects to work on at home.
