Dear GULB Community,
After thoughtful deliberation, we have made the difficult decision to pause all our current programs for this year – including the Small Farm Initiative (SFI), CSA, FruitShare, and Back-Farms – while we evaluate the best path forward.
If you are a 2025 CSA shareholder or have placed a deposit for the upcoming SFI program, please rest assured that you will receive a full reimbursement.
This decision was not made lightly. We are deeply committed to exploring sustainable ways to continue serving our community and advancing our mission. We are actively engaging in discussions with like-minded organizations and partners to ensure that the impact of our collective efforts endures. However, we do not anticipate resuming our programs this year.
To our cherished GULB community, we cannot express enough gratitude for your unwavering support. Your dedication has fueled every garden planted, every meal harvested, and every life touched. While our programs are paused for now, we encourage you to continue advocating for food security, supporting local growers, and fostering sustainable urban agriculture. We remain hopeful that the seeds of change we’ve planted together will continue to grow in new ways in the future.
If you have questions about how this program pause directly impacts you, please reach out to the board at board@gulb.org with immediate concerns. We will continue to share updates as more information becomes available, though we may not be able to respond to all inquiries at this time.
Thank you for being an integral part of this journey. We are honored to have worked alongside you and look forward to what lies ahead.
With gratitude,
The Board of The Green Urban Lunch Box
Why Do We Exist?
At The Green Urban Lunch Box, we believe that access to fresh, healthy food is a fundamental right and a cornerstone of food justice. By growing food with our community, we’re not only addressing hunger but also challenging inequities in our food system. Through regenerative farming practices that prioritize soil health and biodiversity, we’re working to heal the land and create a sustainable, resilient food network. Our mission is to empower community members, provide access for those who need it most, and offer everyone a chance to grow and share in nutritious, ethically grown food. Together, we’re building a healthier environment and a just food system where all people and the planet can thrive.
GROWING AND GATHERING - OUR PROGRAMS
Our mission is to empower people to connect to their food and community by revitalizing urban spaces and building a resilient food culture. The Green Urban Lunch Box envisions a strong network of communities centered on the cultivation of food.
