CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
| Our mission to grow food for those in need has been one that resonates with many. We have been fortunate to have wonderful volunteers who are here for a day or a season. We have been in need of a farm manager to oversee the day to day duties of running a farm, planting, maintaining and harvesting several acres of produce. The primary challenge has been the lack of financial resources. Forming a 501c3 expands our mission to many others who want to be involved, but prefer to support the mission financially. This revenue is allowing us to hire our first farm manager. |
