All Farmers

Thank you to everyone who donated to this year's Valley Grows Day! Collectively, we were able to raise over $70,000! Much appreciation and love to the sister organizations we worked alongside this year Abundance Farm, Gardening the Community, Grow Food Northampton, Just Roots, Pioneer Valley Workers Center/Centro Obrero del Valle Pioneroand Seeds of Solidarity Education Center.

Your generous donations allow us to continue the work that we do, support refugee and immigrant farming families in the greater Springfield through finding and acquiring permanent farmland that they can steward generations to come, help them manage their farmers' markets (and newly!) CSA, providing technical assistance, and lowering barriers in and making leadership more accessible and equitable.

This year's Valley Grows may be over, but you can still continue to support your local food justice organizations!
