Victory Garden Initiative is a Milwaukee-based organization operating in the food and beverage manufacturing sector that focuses on community-driven food production. It aims to build a nutritious, environmentally sustainable, and locally governed food system by promoting vegetable gardening across yards, rooftops, and other urban spaces, supported by mentoring. The organization serves individuals and neighborhoods seeking greater food security and stronger local economies, helping people become or mentor other vegetable gardeners. It emphasizes growing food in limited urban spaces and connects gardening activity to ecological health and community resilience. In early 2022, it expanded with Farmhouse—a gathering and creation space established in Milwaukee following the purchase and renovation of a former tavern in the Harambee neighborhood.
