Meeting new challenges, transforming lives

Fitchburg Fields is a grassroots, non-profit and for-impact organization in Fitchburg, WI, just south of the capital city of Madison. We have a small garden and a big vision, and we invite you to volunteer, learn, and contribute to our efforts!

What we do

  • Grow the next generation of organic farmers and gardeners.
  • Create new jobs in the local food sector.
  • Create community bonds.

Why we do it

  • Recession is causing unemployment and hunger.
  • Peaking oil supplies necessitate a low-fuel food system.
  • Global climate change necessitates a low-carbon food system.

How we do it

  • Teach in our garden.
  • Teach in community kitchens and homes.
  • Support the community with food and information.
