Modest Family Solutions is a non-profit on the front lines of addressing food insecurity. They grow food using sustainable, innovative gardening techniques like hydroponics (growing crops without soil) and aquaponics (using fish waste as nutrients while also filtering the water). They also manage the Agroecology Center in Everett, which leads community youth programs that teach the basics of gardening, composting, and hydroponics farming.

As a recipient of our Lawns to Lettuce cost share award, Modest Family Solutions is using the funding to increase vegetable production from the aquaponics and hydroponics gardening systems.
