The Weekly Harvest
Welcome to “The Weekly Harvest!” 🎉
Wait, wait, wait.... It's the end of July already? This summer is flying by, and the harvest just keeps getting better! Scoop all the goodness that is happening at the farm below. 🌱
This week’s success story isn’t about one person—it’s about our entire team. From our office manager to peer mentors, farm hands, our farmer, and co-founders, every single team member is giving their all to grow more than food—we’re growing purpose.
Whether it's planting microgreens, coordinating CSA shares, supporting mission employees, or preparing events, our crew works together with heart and hustle. And every week, we see something amazing: confidence growing, friendships forming, and pride in a job well done.
💚 Thank you for supporting a workplace where every role matters and everyone belongs. *Not pictured but equally important are our social media manager, Tabitha, and farm hand, Brody.
Last week, we launched our Race to 100 campaign, and we’re thrilled to share that 8 more generous donors have already joined the 100 Club, committing to a recurring monthly donation. We are now at 18 members!
Each gift supports meaningful, paid work for adults with disabilities—and keeps our mission moving forward.
Will you be one of the next 82 to cross the finish line with us?
🌱 Join the 100 Club today 🎽 Together, we’re building something that lasts.

We are excited to see our peppers and tomatoes preparing to burst in abundance! If you've had our heirloom tomatoes in the past, well, you KNOW how amazing they are.

Wanttovolunteerwithus? Volunteering is at the heart of our organization.
Volunteers propel our mission by working in the fields, greenhouse, production barn, and Farmer’s Market. Without volunteers, we wouldn’t be able to offer inclusive job opportunities to adults with disabilities! Click here to learn more and sign up :)
We are so grateful for YOU! Words just can't express how wonderful the community support is for our mission and the impact it is having at the farm.
Thanks for being awesome,
