Incubator Garden Partnerships

The Incubator Gardens provide a place to start growing—supporting new and developing producers with access to land, tools, and hands-on experience for local food production.

Participants gain practical resources including irrigation, equipment, seeds, compost, mentorship, and community support, allowing them to focus on building skills and growing for local markets .

The gardens also serve as an educational space, where Rooted in Wyoming hosts summer camps and seasonal classes—connecting the community to food, agriculture, and hands-on learning.

The future of Rooted in Wyoming at Bridges is being built around these gardens—expanding opportunities for growers and increasing access to fresh, local food.

  • Seeds are available at no cost through Rooted in Wyoming’s seed bank. However, any seedlings or starter plants must be supplied by the participant.

  • Participants are encouraged to grow produce using their preferred methods to achieve strong, productive yields. However, they are expected to maintain their assigned area through regular mowing, weeding, and general upkeep to ensure a clean and organized growing space.

    Because the Incubator Gardens also host visitors such as youth summer camps, all tools, supplies, and equipment must be stored properly when not in active use and are not to be left on the grounds for safety and organization purposes.
