Annual Appeal

Land’s Sake began as a modest nonprofit community farm, selling produce from a seasonal shelter built in the 1980s, teaching children under a pop-up tent, and growing seedlings in an old greenhouse a mile away. 

Solid structures now anchor the farm, allowing us to better meet our mission and serve the community.

These include a net-zero farmstand with sales area, proper vegetable washing facilities and coolers, a timber-frame animal barn and education center, and a sturdy greenhouse to efficiently start the season. New power, water, and internet infrastructure now allows every aspect of the farm to grow and enrich the community more deeply. With this growth has come increased costs for staffing, building maintenance, and farm operations. 

We ask for your support to help meet these new needs.
