One Vegetable,
One Community
One Vegetable One Community (OVOC) strives to unite communities by encouraging gardeners to plant, grow, cook, and/or share a single vegetable. The goal is to see the vegetable of the year growing in home gardens, community, and school gardens, containers on front porches or balconies, and in front of businesses, faith-based organizations, and government buildings. OVOC starts a conversation in the community about food, nutrition, and how a community can support healthier choices.
