Full hearts & dirty hands

We grow fruits & veggies for our neighbors’ tables

HOPEfarm sprouted from a simple idea: Wouldn’t it be wonderful if our food pantry could offer beautifully ripe, nutritious veggies and fruit? Of course we knew the answer, so we got to work! Thanks to a committed crew of volunteers, bushels of plump tomatoes, crunchy cucumbers, leafy greens, and aromatic herbs are now being harvested weekly.

Our growing, small-scale farm is built around a hydroponic greenhouse that lets us farm year round, sunshine or snow. Outside, rows of raised beds are lush in the summer with soil-grown garden veggies and native prairie plants. Come see for yourself!

Hope Farm is a place to grow

And we’re talking about more than the cucumbers and tomatoes. “You get to play in the dirt with a great group of people and be part of something bigger than yourself,” says Liesl, a regular around the farm.

As local families struggle with rising food prices, she points out that the farm and its volunteers play an increasingly crucial role. “Maybe I can’t fix the world’s huge problems,” Liesl says, “but I like to know I’m helping where I can.”

Whatever the season, whatever your talents, there is a place for you here! New projects are always sprouting up. We’re planting native flowers to attract pollinators and mapping out an orchard to increase our offerings. We’ve even designed wheelchair-accessible raised beds. We mean it when we say HOPEfarm is a place where everyone can grow!

Reach out or drop by on a Saturday morning to help with the harvest and learn how to get involved.
