Where It's Happening
Meet the Organizer
As a rural prosperity incubator, Grow Benzie works to accelerate the impact of grassroots projects, small-scale non-profits, and food and farming enterprises. We offer space to gather, grow, and share resources, from incubator kitchens to co-working offices, a bee apiary to sewing studios. We offer essential support services to other organizations and nonprofits, services such as communications, bookkeeping, grant writing, and volunteer management-all necessary operational support. And we foster intentional collaboration to increase efficiency and impact across our community initiatives.
