Build a More Food Secure City, Starting Now

Lead the way on food resilience.

Tackle food insecurity with a solution that grows real results: year-round produce, local jobs, and community pride, all from a modular vertical farm that fits right in your municipality.

What happens when you work with Growcer?

  • Act fast on local food priorities

    Whether you're responding to a food insecurity crisis or advancing long-term sustainability goals, Growcer helps you take visible, credible action now.

  • Fill a critical fresh food gap

    It’s no secret: fresh, perishable food is the hardest and most expensive for community organizations to source. By growing your own, you give food banks, school meal programs, and shelters consistent access to nutritious greens they couldn’t otherwise afford.

  • Maximize impact with a predictable budget

    No more relying on unpredictable donations or volatile prices. Thanks to the Growcer Fund, cities reduce upfront costs by up to 75% while putting parking ticket revenue, grant dollars, or operational budgets to immediate use.

City of Kingston

In 2025, the City of Kingston declared food insecurity an emergency after finding out that one third of the population suffers from some form of food insecurity. Food became a top priority, and Kingston’s Food Framework and strategic plan was developed.

Council sought an approach that could deliver immediate relief while building long-term resilience. They partnered with Growcer.

With just $80,000 in annual parking fine revenue redirected through their Fines for Food initiative, Kingston launched a modular vertical farm project with the capacity to grow $200,000 worth of fresh, nutrient-dense leafy greens every year.

These are ingredients that local food organizations struggle to afford and can rarely source consistently. By growing them locally, Kingston gives its partners access to the most in-demand produce, without the spoilage, cost, or supply chain guesswork.

Through the Growcer’s farm-as-a-service program, Kingston was able to minimize upfront costs and lean on Growcer’s decade of experience in planning, implementation, and distribution.
