OUR
IMPACTWe are proud to feed and teach the community from our local, organically grown farm. Our impact in the community includes:
WE GIVE
Our Fresh Produce Giving program has the goal of giving thousands of pounds of fresh produce grown from our farm, reducing the barriers to access locally grown organic vegetables. This program has significantly expanded over recent years. The amount of fresh produce given to our hunger relief partners has increased almost every year. We typically give about 25,000 pounds of produce each year, or approximately 20% of our total harvest.
WE GROW
The 13 acres of land is farmed using all organic, regenerative methods and implement a robust soil health program at the farm. We provide locally grown sustainable produce to over 400 households annually in our summer and winter CSA program, as well as to customers at the Ambler Farmers Market. We also share over 25,000 pounds of produce through our Produce Giving Program as described above.
WE TEACH
Our education program encompasses both our community and future farmers. The CSA members learn about what goes into growing their food through weekly newsletters, volunteering with us in the fields, and educational events on the farm. Through our collaborative education program with The College Settlement, 3,000 campers visit the farm to learn up close about food and farming. We have comprehensive farmer training programs designed to teach the skills required to own or manage a farm. Since 2014, we have graduated 10 new farmers from our 20-month farmer apprenticeship program.
