Still Growing Strong – Fall at the Farm & Holiday Preview!


The Weekly Harvest

Hello from the Farm!

As the final leaves fall and the cool weather sets in, we're reflecting with deep gratitude on an incredible 2025 season. With the help of our community, staff, volunteers, and CSA members, we cultivated a bountiful harvest—and even more importantly, a place where purpose and growth thrive.

But the work (and the growing!) isn't over.

Thanks to our hoop house and ongoing microgreens production, we’re still harvesting fresh food—and you can still enjoy it! Shop our farm store Tuesday–Friday, 10 AM–6 PM, or find us on Locavana for local delivery. And here’s a little fun fact: Field & Wick products are available on Locavana, too!

New This Week:

What’s Fresh This Week in the Farm Store

Stop in and stock up on some fall favorites:

  • Butternut squash
  • Acorn squash
  • Kohlrabi
  • Cabbage
  • Turnips
  • Eggplant
  • Peppers
  • Microgreens (salad mix, pea shoots, broccoli)

Whether you’re meal prepping or gifting—our shelves are stocked with good things grown and made with intention.

💚 Employee Spotlight: Still Growing

This fall, we’ve watched our mission employees continue to shine. One standout moment? Seeing a team member who started the season unsure about using tools independently now confidently harvesting produce and taking pride in his work. Growth at New Growth Project isn’t just about vegetables—it’s about confidence, mentorship, and purpose. Stories like these are only possible because of your support.

🌲 Huge Thanks for Wreath Fundraiser Support!

A heartfelt THANK YOU to everyone who supported our Annual Wreath Fundraiser!

P.S.S. Fund the Farm is in full swing. The Spartans may have lost on the field to the Wolverines, but they crushed them in giving donations to our cause! Go GREEN! We are looking for Farm Champions to lead teams that raise funds through this peer-to-peer effort. Are you a farm champion?
