FOrWard.
in bradenton, Florida, there’s a group of people with a never-say-never attitude and a bold idea
for community farming: that the community is just as important as the farming. to them, the
job is bigger than just growing food; it’s about growing the health of the entire area. Geraldson
Community Farm uses the latest sustainable growing methods to produce healthy, safe food
for their members and the surrounding area, donating nearly 1000 pounds of excess food to the
local food bank last year alone.
With GMC’s help, the farm finished installing cisterns for their water retention system and
constructing their community barn, both key steps toward accomplishing their goal of a zero
carbon footprint. Using the farm as both a working classroom and library, they provide the
community with the resources they need to learn about the benefits of locally grown food and
the most efficient ways to farm for themselves.
So whAt doeS community-SuppoRted AgRicultuRe
hAVe to do with gmc engineeRing?
it’s using technology to work more efficiently, just like GMC savana. From available dealer-installed
WiFi connectivity 1 to your choice of two available wheelbase configurations to the broadest v-8
engine lineup in the segment, savana has the flexibility and capability to match your aspirations
and exceed your ambition. it’s what professional-grade engineering is all about: building vehicles
that do more than just keep up with today’s world. they set the pace for tomorrow. gmc SAVAnA.
