We are incredibly grateful to have received a generous Community Betterment Grant from Prairie Meadows Casino, Racetrack & Hotel!

This grant allowed us to expand our farm toolkit with a new shed full of supplies, tools, and tractor attachments. The tractor forks are especially helpful for moving pallets of produce and collective farmer purchases like cover crops or fertilizer. Our operations manager has also used several of the tools for trench work to improve water flow in farmers' fields.

Having a shed full of tools ready for everyday needs on the farm helps us work more efficiently and better serve the IHF farmers and our community. Thank you, Prairie Meadows, for investing in our work!
