Briggs Ave Community Garden is an agriculture education space owned by the North Carolina Agriculture Foundation at NCSU. We are an Extension program offering applied food and nutrition education with a seed to table approach. We teach families how to grow food for themselves and others using USDA Organic methods following food safety from the garden to the table. 30% of the food we grow is donated to Durham Technical Community College pantry.
