Become a Grower
Changes Are Coming to the Katie’s Krops Grower Program!
We have exciting news to share—big changes are on the horizon for our Katie’s Krops Grower Program!
In 2026, we will place a pause on welcoming new Growers so that all of our time, energy, and resources can be dedicated to empowering and supporting our amazing current Growers. This development phase will also give us the opportunity to reimagine the Grower search and design an even stronger, more inspiring program for the future.
Our goal is to launch the refreshed Grower Program in 2027, and we cannot wait to share the exciting updates with you! While new ideas, resources, and opportunities will be introduced, our mission will always remain the same—supporting passionate young gardeners who want to make a positive impact in their communities.
Stay tuned for updates as we prepare for this next chapter of Katie’s Krops. Thank you for being such an important part of our journey—together, we’re planting the seeds for an incredible future!
