About Us
In 2019, Erin Galloway and Megan Taylor McManamen were volunteering as co-market managers at their local farmers market when they recognized an opportunity: that the fresh, locally grown produce at the market could help address food insecurity in their community.
Working alongside the farmers market, they created several innovative food accessibility programs, including Share the Harvest, which purchased unsold produce to donate to food banks, and SNAP and WIC incentive programs that made local food more affordable for families. Together, they worked to get SNAP accepted at the market, opening doors for more families to access fresh food.
These programs showed what was possible, but Erin and Megan envisioned something bigger. They wanted to create a dedicated organization that could grow food specifically for families facing food insecurity, apply for grants to expand impact, and build the infrastructure needed for lasting change. So, they founded the Edible Prairie Project with a bold vision, to solve food insecurity not by distributing food from distant sources, but by growing it right here in Campbell County.
What started as two farmers market volunteers has grown into a comprehensive nonprofit dedicated to sustainable food production, equitable distribution, and cultivating community connections. Today, we're not just feeding families — we're building Northeast Wyoming's first nonprofit farm to ensure fresh, local food is accessible to everyone, year-round.
