The Farm

We are a small, but growing farm producing Certified Naturally Grown vegetables for two bustling farmers' markets and an on-farm stand. We are committed to sustainability and grow a wide variety of crops year-round.

The Project Funded

We will use the For Farmer's Grant to purchase and install an waterproof shade-cloth overhang to expand our wash/pack shed as we expand to new markets and work with a growing team.

Project Impact

The shade sail structure will expand our wash/pack area, creating a comfortable, weather-protected workspace for our growing team. This upgrade improves produce quality, enhances food safety, and boosts efficiency, enabling us to grow our farm and provide fresh, high-quality produce to a wider community.
