Our Mission and Purpose
🌱At Wimberly’s Roots, we grow more than gardens—we grow community. 🌱
We empower Winder and Barrow County with hands-on gardening, healthy cooking, and nutrition know-how, making fresh food accessible for everyone.
​
By teaming up with local farmers, chefs, educators, and volunteers, we turn seeds into skills, meals into memories, and food insecurity into opportunity.
Our Roots: From Farm to Fork, Fighting Food Insecurity
At Wimberly’s Roots, our farm-to-fork mission starts right in the surrounding gardens and blossoms into kitchens and classrooms, where we teach hands-on healthy eating skills and empower our community to make nutritious choices every day.
​
Born from the transformation of the historic Winder-Barrow Middle School into the Wimberly Center for Community Development, our programs grew from Winder’s recognition as a Local Foods, Local Places community—sparking a commitment to food access, sustainability, and hands-on education in 2016..
​
Today, operating in a USDA-designated food desert, we serve Winder, Barrow County, and Northeast Georgia, providing gardening, nutrition, and food access programs that strengthen health, resilience, and the joy of growing and sharing local food.
