Specialty Crop

The Edible Prairie Project was established in 2019 as a non-profit organization to support small agricultural and processing operations in the Gillette area improve the affordability and accessibility of high-quality food for local residents and families in financial need.

Among the services are the: (1) multi-farm community-supported agriculture basket program that provides in-season fresh produce and fall storage crops (winter squash, potatoes, onions, carrots, etc.) on a pay-what-you-can basis; (2) garden kit program that provides seeds, starter plants, and other materials to eligible individuals wishing to grow their own produce; (3) Summer Weekend Meal program for children enrolled in various summer programs in the community; and (4) Gillette Little Free Pantry Network (see separate listing below); among others.
