Event Review:

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.

"A Teaching and Sharing Garden"

Our Garden, 4000 sq. ft. of fertility at the SE corner of Lacy Rd. and Fahey Glen in Fitchburg, WI, is a small plot of borrowed land, but we are enthusiastically using it to teach and learn how to create a local food system in the Madison area. (Click here for map.) We hope to "scale up" our experiences when we purchase a 250-acre parcel just 2 miles away – but that will take a lot of help!
