Ash Lee & Jennifer
Family who GROW for GOOD.
Sisters-in-law (sisters at heart), Ash Lee is a Registered Nurse, and Jennifer's career is devoted to Nurse education and training. Beyond their obvious common interest, the two spend many days and nights discussing a mutual compulsion to "do something big". To feed people who are hungry, to care for those in poor health, to nurture Mother Earth and restore the environment, and to fight for equitable access to healthcare and education.
After weeks and months discussing around a dinner table and in the garden, Good2Grow Farm Co- was born. We are a Woman-Owned Farm in Washington County, Arkansas with a simple plan to grow food for family and for community, and in order to achieve big results, a vow to co-op with organizations that can extend their reach, and to connect friends and neighbors with action opportunities that can multiply impact.
Why Grow Together?
Food. Particularly whole, nourishing food from Mother Earth, has undeniable power to unite us; and to solve social issues. It is this truth that compels us to act.
​
We farm. We share. We engage others in practices and programs that support indiscriminate distribution of food grown and prepared with loving intention.
​
Simply, TOGETHER we do more good.
​
Put another way, it is Good2Grow Co-.
What's Good.

What Good Does it Do?
Good2GrowCo- will be delighted to provide you and your family with organically-grown seedlings in grow bags (no plastic!) for transplant into your garden. We can also share information and resources for sustainable growing practices.
​
In cooperation with St. James Missionary Baptist Church Food Pantry, neighbors-in-need will be provided with donated seedlings, education by Botanical Garden of the Ozarks, and hands-on guidance for growing nutritious food for health and food stability. Brightwater will provide nutritious recipes.
​
Through Fayetteville Public Schools Outback, donations from our family farm of fresh, nutritious, produce will be distributed to low-income students and their families.
​
Volunteers may participate by mentoring, or "playing in the dirt" as we grow food together "in community, by community, and for community."
Access to healthy food - it's a basic human right. We must work together to safeguard this right for ourselves, our families, our neighbors, and our community. Everyone has a role to play. Each of us is a critical link.
​
There are many opportunities to do something to help. Let Good2GrowCo- provide you with an easy path for action. You will benefit. Your community will benefit. Now and in the future.
