Community >>
Sustainable Agriculture Group
Outpost partners with a local non-profit that aligns with our mission to create a healthy, diverse and sustainable community. This includes a donation based on the earned interest from our Co-op Community Fund and the opportunity to promote their programs and events.
Kinship Community Food Center
Kinship Community Food Center operates their local non-profit organization beyond the traditional food pantry model. Located in the Riverwest neighborhood, Kinship engages the community in an effort to end hunger, isolation, and poverty through their innovative programs that include a fresh food market, collaborative meals and an urban farm.
Kinship’s ‘Grow’ effort, operates a 27,000 square foot urban hoop house farm in Glendale, Wisconsin where they harvest approximately 19,000 pounds of organic produce for the families at their food center every year.

The Walnut Workshed is a project of the Growing Youth Leadership program. Walnut Workshed is centered on providing Leadership interns the outbuildings to properly store and sell produce grown on over 100 fruit trees and vacant lots transformed into gardens at Walnut Way. Delicious goodies like their peaches, cherries and jams, for starters. It will also serve to function as meeting space for Leadership programs and trainings.

In 2020, Outpost's Co-op Community Fund contributed more than $3,200 to assist with irrigation at the Fondy Farm Project at the Mequon Nature Preserve. Currently the 26 Hmong family farmers carry water to their fields.
Teens Grow Greens
https://www.teensgrowgreens.org/
In 2019 Outpost partnered with Teens Grow Greens to implement a program called MyPlant where visitors to their greenhouses were able to bring their children and go through the process of planting a seedling they could take home. The goal was to spark curiosity and interest among youth in where our food comes from.
