Thank you for your support in making 2022 an unforgettable and historic year at Land’s Sake Farm. This year, we completed Phase 1 of the Grow With Us Capital Campaign, raising the farm’s beautiful new structures including a greenhouse, hoop houses and a barn, and bringing power and water to the farm for the first time since opening in 1980. Over the past 3 years, we have worked tirelessly toward the dream of a more sustainable farm, where we can grow food more efficiently, operate year-round, and donate even more to those in need.
While the construction and improvements were underway, the farm remained fully operational with staff and volunteers working tirelessly to grow fresh produce, provide thousands of educational experiences, and run almost 20 community events. All of this was possible because of the incredible generosity (and patience!) of community members like you. In a blistering summer when the farm’s irrigation expenses more than doubled unexpectedly, your generosity kept the crops alive. Your support provided the opportunity and resources for everyone to enjoy the farm and its education programs. And you enabled us to provide a living wage to the incredible farm team who braved the searing heat daily.
We are so grateful for supporters like you who embody our mission of connecting people to the land to build community and inspire lifelong stewardship. These improvements helped us weather the most extreme drought conditions in years, with new hoop houses shielding tender plants from stinging winds, and onsite water giving us the ability to run sustainable drip irrigation to 25 acres of crops.
Because of your commitment, in 2022, Land’s Sake Farm was able to grow over 120,000 pounds of produce and donated nearly 30% of it, approximately 125,000 servings, to community members living with food insecurity.
We rely on your year-end gift to provide essential funds to help us maintain farm equipment, purchase seeds, irrigate for next year’s crops, and so much more. This treasured place that we all share could not exist without the support of donors, members, and volunteers. Our amazing staff continues to find ways to serve both Weston and its neighboring communities and we’re excited to share our plans with you for how we plan to make an even greater impact in the future. Please consider making a donation so that we can continue to make a difference in the lives of so many.
