Donate Toward Our Microgreen Production:
We Grow Superfoods to Help Feed People with Food Insecurities
It all started last summer after we restored our tiny greenhouse on our ECO Farm into a small space to grow microgreens! After significant research, we began producing an abundance of these superfoods in several varieties to donate to food banks in our community. Our 2024 project has been extremely successful, but funds are running low.
Within six months our farm produced and donated $5,376 worth of microgreens to help alleviate food insecurity!
The feedback from volunteers, staff, and food bank patrons has been incredible! The director says she’s “Delighted about our partnership and happy to provide fresh, high-quality and nutritious foods for people who otherwise can’t afford to buy them.”
Microgreens are a superfood that come in many varieties including radish, broccoli, kale, cantaloup, beets, and many others types from mild to fruity, and even spicy. There is the same amount of nutrition in 1 oz of broccoli microgreens compared to 1 and ½ pounds of broccoli. And, kids love them too!
As we expand to meet our community's needs, our expenses are increasing and funds diminishing. We are in desperate need of support! We are hoping you will consider making a donation by joining us in fighting food insecurity.​
At ECO Farm we are proud to share our successes and knowledge through training, which is also part of our mission. In the future, we hope to make an even bigger impact by helping people learn to grow their own microgreens!
ECO Farm staff and volunteers are excited to be working for such a great cause! Many of our volunteers say they feel good about supporting ECO Farm’s project to feed the local community - especially people who might not otherwise be able to afford healthy food.
Your contribution will help us continue to donate these easy-to-grow, quick-turnaround, highly nutritious superfoods to people with food insecurities.
