Our programs impact the majority of year-round islanders.

Between farm to school education for every island child, food access programs that support more than 1 in 5 year-round residents, and a 42-acre regenerative farm, IGI is an integral part of the fabric of life on the Vineyard.

By strengthening our food system, we create a thriving island community, where all have access to the food they need now and into the future, and where food nourishes both people and place.

Our Approach

Land Acknowledgment

This island is the ancestral and contemporary home of the Wampanoag people. We acknowledge their enduring presence here and millennia of care that have shaped, and continue to shape, this place. At IGI, we support Wampanoag food sovereignty and act as allies in their ongoing commitment to the land, waters, and community we share.
