Nurturing Our Community & Environment

We are building a not-for-profit, ecological farm to bring high quality produce to our neighbors in need. We are fostering vital skills to create a brighter future.

Our Plan

Phase 1: Laying the Foundation (✓)
- Incorporated as a not-for-profit organization, applied for federal charitable status.
- Signed a lease for 0.5 acres of farmland hosted by Wine Country Farms based on a shared vision of a more just and sustainable food system.
- Connected with a local food bank network to discuss crop lists and distribution.
Phase 2: Fundraising and Preparation (Current)
- Inviting individual donations and working to secure grant funding to reach our initial fundraising goal of $20,000.
- Reaching out for in-kind donations of farm materials such as seeds and equipment.
- Designing a detailed crop list and layout for the farm.
- Spreading the word to recruit volunteers for when occupancy begins.
Phase 3: Building and Planting (March 2027)
- Installing the first infrastructure on the farm with the help of volunteers such as a gravel driveway, tool shed, and water tank.
- Laying out planting beds and pathways. Preparing ground and incorporating soil amendments as needed.
- Planting our very first food crops, cover crops, and native plants!
Phase 4: Harvest and Grow (Spring through Fall 2027)
- Celebrating our very first harvest.
- Donating all food crops as they ripen through local food bank networks and shelters.
- Continuing to refine and expand operations on the farm as well as networks of donors and volunteers.
- Begin hosting educational events and opportunities as the farm develops.
