Garden To Table at Taylor Street Farm

Back in October 2013, local non-profit Garden to Table Silicon Valley decided to install 2,500 square feet of raised beds to develop Taylor Street Farm. The goal was to educate people how to grow their own food and empower them to take control of their food system. The mission to create a sustainable, local food system that builds community, improves access to healthy foods, and teaches residents to cultivate their own fruits, vegetables and herbs contributes to fostering passionate individuals striving to create the world we wish for ourselves and everyone.

To implement this vision, Garden to Table Silicon Valley’s Taylor Street Farm seeks to inspire a more equitable, nutritious, and just food system through community and engagement. Ideally, the motto is “growing the future through community-based agriculture.”

HMH helped to develop a Master Plan for the project by coordinating with farm owners to ideate for future expansion of the farm, sustaining its purpose. As such, HMH created exhibits to layout new greenhouses, demonstration areas and event spaces to keep everyone connected and eager to learn.

“HMH is helping us redesign our space to include more public seating, art and space for community classes and events,” explained Paul Monaco.
