Give. Grow.

This year, your gift will keep on growing. Kinda like the Energizer Bunny. 

Here on the farms, our work is powered by people like you and I. Fueled with a passion for food, bikes and community,  the farms keep growing thanks to the time & energy that hundreds of dedicated volunteers contribute.

As we embark on our 3rd year as a grassroots volunteer led organization, we have big plans. And big ideas -- from a 3rd brand new farm (on MLK + Cherry in the CD), a bike team and a skill share program in the works.  This is where you can help us grow forth. 

To get a better idea of what money can buy, here's food for thought: 
  • $25 buys 100 feet of drip line so our veggies can have a drink of water or two shovels;
  • $50 buys two sets of lights for our cargo trailer + bike & two bike pumps to make sure veggies are safe and sound on bike delivery;
  • $75 pays for a fancy wheel barrow and a stock pile of work gloves;
  • $100 buys a community BBQ on the farms or pays for 1 skill share
  • $250 pays for the water bill during 1 month of summer for 1 farm
  • $500 helps provide seeds for all the farms
  • $750 pays for 1 cargo trailer
  • $1000 can ensure our bike team is properly suited up, for not only their ride in the American Diabetes Tour de Cure, but also one of many planned community events.
  • $1500 can build a shed for storage on the new site (including solar power).
  • $4000 would score us a sweet truck at a City auction, allowing us (and other urban ag organizations) to have a vehicle made for hauling (there are some things our bikes can't do... we can dream, right?).
The bill don't stop there -- and either do the ideas for farm improvements.

This holiday / year end season, would you help us grow forth? We give one mean high five and we'll be forever grateful. Did we also mention your belly will thank you when you try some of the produce we'll be able to grow? 







From our farms to your family -- thank you for 2 years of continued support. Here's to a stellar 3rd year. High five!
