Founded 18 months ago by lifelong gardener Jed Riding, Millennial Food Gardens began with a massive undertaking: removing more than 8,000 pounds of rock by hand. From there, Riding built a thriving, high-yield garden using the Mittleider gardening method, a system designed to maximize production even in harsh climates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cWhat started as a simple idea has grown into something much bigger than I ever imagined,\u201d Riding said. \u201cWe\u2019re not just growing food. We\u2019re showing people what\u2019s possible. Everything we produce goes back into the community, and now even what\u2019s left over is helping feed animals that need it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"584\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-30957 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-1024x584.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-1024x584.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-300x171.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-768x438.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-380x217.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-800x457.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-1160x662.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1-80x46.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065133\/1.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Since its founding in August 2024, the nonprofit has donated 100 percent of its harvest (about 200 pounds of produce each week) to food banks, families, and community organizations. To date, that adds up to an estimated 14,000 pounds of fresh food distributed across the Valley. Through partnerships with Valley View Community Food Bank and Unlimited Potential, the garden has become a consistent and reliable contributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The garden\u2019s newest collaboration came together organically. After connecting with Loving Hut Glendale owner Linh La, Riding saw an opportunity to extend the garden\u2019s reach even further. The partnership redirects surplus vegetable trimmings (items not typically used for human consumption) into a valuable food source for more than 200 rescued pigs cared for by Better Piggies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor me, this partnership is about recognizing that compassion doesn\u2019t stop at the plate,\u201d Linh La said. \u201cWhat Jed is doing is incredible. He\u2019s feeding families, educating the community, and now helping care for rescued animals. It\u2019s a reminder that, when people come together, we can create systems that support everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3.jpg\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  width=\"1024\"  height=\"586\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"\"  class=\"wp-image-30958 pk-lazyload\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-ls-sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-1024x586.jpg\"  data-pk-srcset=\"https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-1024x586.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-300x172.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-768x439.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-380x217.jpg 380w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-800x458.jpg 800w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-1160x664.jpg 1160w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3-80x46.jpg 80w, https:\/\/media.arizonafoothillsmagazine.com\/taste\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/04065206\/3.jpg 1500w\" ><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEach week, Millennial Food Gardens provides eight to 12 boxes of fresh vegetable trimmings to Better Piggies. People are always surprised by how much food it takes to care for over 200 pigs. Partnerships like this help us keep everyone fed while also reducing waste, which is a win for the animals, the community, and the environment,\u201d said Danielle Betterman, founder of Better Piggies Rescue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Millennial Food Gardens also serves as a hands-on learning space, offering tours, volunteer opportunities, and educational programs that teach residents how to grow their own food. The approach is practical and forward-thinking. By using controlled growing mediums like sand and sawdust, paired with mineral nutrients, the garden maintains a pesticide-free environment focused on plant health and efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a place where the environment can feel like an obstacle, Millennial Food Gardens is reframing it as an opportunity. With every pound of produce donated and every partnership formed, the garden is cultivating something bigger than food.
