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!
