A big shout out to these four ladies from More Group. A small but mighty team, they helped us w**d the entire patch of cantaloupe, ensuring that unwanted vegetation doesn’t steal nutrients and water from from the newly flowering cantaloupe plants, and making more room for the vines to spread and grow. We enjoyed some great tunes and shared plenty of laughs along the way. Win win!

We’re overjoyed and honored to join the Greatest Gift Catalog Ever this year! It’s an amazing opportunity to continue building brand awareness for our organization so that we can scale our programs to serve more youth. We’re eager to glean knowledge and inspiration from the other incredible nonprofits sharing the pages with us.

If your office likes what we do and doesn’t already help distribute the catalog by making it available to your customers and clients in your waiting room or otherwise, we’d love for you to consider partnering with us by doing so! There is absolutely zero cost to you. Please contact [email protected].

FunkyTown staff and interns had a blast volunteering together at Keith House, where we helped with some spring cleaning and gardening. From w**ding to planting to window cleaning, we enjoyed getting to know other community volunteers while benefitting from dirt therapy and lots of Vitamin D. Afterward, we walked over to visit our friends from Conundrum Farms and Icon Bread at the Clearfork Farmers Market. Truly a morning well spent!

Are you familiar with Keith House? A beautiful gift to Fort Worth from the Meta Alice Keith Bratten Foundation, it features James Turrell’s 99th Skyspace installation, Come to Good. Learn more at KeithHouse.org.

Riff Ram Bah Zoo! We were thrilled to welcome a group of Horned Frogs to the farm for TCU’s Day of Service last Saturday. They built raised beds in our children’s garden, planted rows of cantaloupes, and gave our high school interns the opportunity to put their experience and knowledge to work by leading activities. We’re thrilled to be a partner site for and are already excited about the fall semester’s Day of Service. Go Frogs!

For the 3rd year in a row, we owe thanks to for choosing us as one of their Day of Service sites. Seventy TVS high schoolers hauled compost, built up three (very long) garden beds, spread mulch over the pathways between rows, pulled w**ds from the onion and carrot fields, and had a great attitude about doing all of it. Their day’s work saved our farm team about 4 days of labor! Thank you, TVS!
