Community Action Duluth Seeds of Success

The Community Action Duluth Seeds of Success urban farming program was founded in 2009 to increase access to fresh and healthy food in Duluth, with a focus in the Lincoln Park and Central Hillside neighborhoods. Seeds of Success manages three farmers markets, but also runs a produce stand that sells fresh, local veggies, herbs, and fruit bits. Seeds of Success makes the food even more affordable by offering up to $15 a week in a SNAP matching program and the Power of Produce Club, which gives children and youth $4 each market to spend on fresh produce. 

In addition, Seeds of Success also runs a transitional employment program, that provides employment opportunities for adults who either have a criminal background or lack of job references to gain proper employment — or, in some cases, both.
