Tribe and Vibe Collection

Tribe and Vibe Collection, T.V.C., is a family-owned business focusing on food security, sustainability, education, and community. We are based in Plainfield, Newark, and Elizabeth, NJ and are advocates of food empowerment, nutrition, and wellness. Our passion for being self-sustainable and creating more access to locally grown foods led us to start our Indoor Sustainable Food Growing Program. A 10-month curriculum focused on indoor food growing methods and sustainable systems such as hydroponics and aeroponics. Providing In-person and virtual greenhouse workshops.

Thank you for joining Tribe and Vibe Collection’s Indoor Sustainable Food Growing Program. We're currently in search of a new location and will return to operations.

MISSION Tribe and Vibe Collection is dedicated to promoting food security, wellness, and community by providing comprehensive educational programs, products and services, and community events. Our mission is to empower individuals and institutions, in food desert communities, to grow their own food and to create more access to sustainable locally grown produce.

VISION Our vision is to see public organizations in food desert areas leverage unused space to build indoor sustainable farms. To operate a green space for local residents to learn innovative growing methods, engage community, and increase access to locally grown produce.

Donation Link

Thank you for supporting Tribe and Vibe Collection’s Indoor Sustainable Food Growing Program. We partnered with Good Soil and Innoculated Farms to help us sustainably grow food and community at a local level. We’re based in Plainfield, NJ and are “Donation based”…

How can we measure our impact? By weighing the grams and lbs of produce we've grown and keeping record of our distribution within the community. This will allow us to gauge improvement with accessible local produce.
