💚 Thank you, Wyoming Community Foundation!

We’re incredibly grateful to the Wyoming Community Foundation for awarding the Edible Prairie Project a $20,000 general operating grant.

This funding is made possible through the Campbell County Opportunities Fund and the Kemmi Creek Fund at the Wyoming Community Foundation, with the Kemmi Creek Fund recommendation made by the WYCF Statewide Board of Directors.

This year’s one-time increase in funding is especially meaningful as we build the infrastructure for our new nonprofit farm while continuing to provide the food access programs our community relies on. This additional support helps us grow for the future while maintaining the level of service families have come to expect.

General operating support gives a small nonprofit the flexibility to put resources where they are needed most, and we’re so grateful to have the Wyoming Community Foundation alongside us during this important stage of EPP’s growth.

Thank you for investing in the Edible Prairie Project and in the families and communities we serve! 🌱

🍝 One night out, a whole lot of good 🍝

Good food, good people, a beautiful setting out on the prairie, the kind of evening you actually look forward to. But it's also more than that.

When you buy a ticket to the 5th Annual Grown on the Prairie Gourmet - Pasta alla Prairie, you're helping fill weekend food bags for kids, keep little free pantries stocked, get fresh produce to families who need it, and hand out garden kits so people can grow their own food at home, right here in Campbell County.

So come for the fresh food, stay for the company. And know that one night out is doing a lot more good than you'd think.

🎣 Silent Auction Spotlight🎣

Guests at this year’s Pasta alla Prairie will have the chance to bid on a custom 9ft 5wt fly rod, handcrafted by Mark Torbert, a Sheridan-based craftsman who builds heirloom-quality rods designed specifically for each client.

This rod is versatile enough for anglers of any skill level, from someone picking up a fly rod for the first time to a seasoned pro. A true piece of Wyoming craftsmanship, built to be passed down for generations.

Mark holds a licensing agreement with the University of Wyoming to produce the "Wyoming Series" of rods. A retired U.S. Army Reserve First Sergeant, he also shares his passion for rod-building with fellow veterans.

It's just one of the many great items up for bid at this year's 5th Annual Grown on the Prairie Gourmet - Pasta alla Prairie Fundraising Dinner. Every bid helps support our food access programs right here in Campbell County.
