Why is GFGU Different…The Commons Vision!
At Growing From the Ground Up, we believe food should flow like sunlight — abundant, shared, and life-giving.
When you buy from Alberta farmers through GFGU, you’re doing more than filling your basket:
- You lower costs for everyone. The more families who join, the more efficient our routes become. Logistics costs drop, and those savings flow back to you.
- You strengthen farmers. When farmers can sell most of what they grow through GFGU, they can plan better, reduce waste, and pass on lower prices.
- You unlock new capacity. Together, we can support things like local animal processing, making food more available and affordable for everyone.
This is a positive spiral: more support → lower costs → more abundance → stronger communities.
We call it a commons because it’s not just about transactions. It’s about building a system where farmers, families, and communities all thrive together.
