Host a garden site
Although we are not building any new gardens at the moment, we always collect information about potential garden sites that we may be able to use in the future. If you're interested in hosting a garden, please contact us and we'll add your site to our list.
A new garden site doesn't have to be a perfect garden right now. We can convert lawns, weedy areas, and overgrown gardens into productive vegetable and flower gardens. However, an ideal garden site is big (bigger makes our operations more efficient), relatively flat, receives sun for at least 8-10 hours a day, and hasn't had any synthetic lawn chemicals applied in at least the last 3 years. Garden site hosts don't have to do any of the gardening themselves and they will receive vegetables, herbs and/or flowers from all the garden sites.
Host our infrastructure
Farms need more than just space to grow crops. They also need space for a greenhouse, packing and washing sheds and storage areas. We are currently looking for a site to relocate our infrastructure. We have a 14 by 25 foot greenhouse that needs a full sun location with a water source and, ideally, electricity. We are also interested in a site with water and electricity that could house our walk in cooler and washing/packing operation. If you have space and an empty outbuilding, let us know and we'll give you more information about what we are looking for.
Donate old gardening equipment
Want to clean out your garage? Have an old wheelbarrow sitting around? How about hoses, plastic bins, deer fencing, metal fence posts, folding tables, shovels, hoes, or other gardening equipment? If you don't want it, we might be able to put it to good use.
