The Nashville Food Project (TNFP) brings people together to grow, cook, and share nourishing food, with the goals of cultivating community and alleviating hunger in our city. Since becoming an independent nonprofit in 2011, TNFP has developed a unique and powerful model of food security work rooted in community partnership. Through vibrant urban agriculture projects, scratch-made meals, and collaborative food distribution, TNFP connects people to nourishing food and to each other.

Grow—We cultivate urban farms and community gardens to increase
access to land and the resources needed to grow culturally significant
foods. Our growing spaces honor land and nourish neighbors.

Cook—We prepare thousands of scratch-made meals each week
using recovered and locally grown ingredients. Every meal reflects
our values of hospitality, cultural relevance, and shared dignity.

Share—We share nourishing food through trusted partnerships with
community organizations. Sharing food is how we build belonging,
disrupt poverty, and alleviate hunger — one relationship at a time.
