CONVIVIUM URBAN FARMSTEAD
Convivium is a nonprofit whose mission is to improve life through food.
Why food? Because it is universal. Everyone eats!
And we believe the ritual of eating is more than satisfying hunger -- it involves the farmer that grew the food; the soil, sun and rain that gave it life; the person who prepared it; and the people with whom we enjoy it.

IMPROVING LIFE THROUGH FOOD
Want to connect more with your food, the environment, and the people in your community?
We offer classes, demonstrations, and experiences that each cover three areas of the food system: the production of food (grow), the preparation and preservation of food (cook), and the sharing of food (eat).

Increasing Access to Healthy Food
Convivium also provides free meals, as well as tools and education about healthy food choices, to children and adults who are struggling with food access, especially those living in the North End of Dubuque, IA. Here's how:
Casserole ProgramWe distribute and deliver free, fully-prepared casseroles each week to those in need of food.
|
Free ProduceWe host bi-weekly food box distributions and maintain garden beds that anyone can harvest from.
|
Good & CheapWe teach a hands-on cooking class for adults and families that teaches healthy eating on a budget.
|
Eat Local, Feed LocalConvivium is a nonprofit whose mission is to improve life through food. We accomplish our mission through classes, demonstrations, and experiences that use food to foster connection to ourselves, our community and our environment.
