Battling COVID-19, One Fresh Food Box at a Time Since its creation in 2012, Mill Village Farms has stood for a simple concept: to build small and sustainably managed farms that promote holistic development in the Greenville communities through providing employment opportunities and fresh produce in food desert areas. Mill Village Farms (MVF) is centered on growth within the greater Greenville community. More specifically, MVF works to grow fresh and local produce for low income communities that otherwise lack access. Furthermore, MVF is committed to growing and expanding job opportunities for the community’s youth, ultimately creating purpose and spreading hope among surrounding neighborhoods.
