We had a wonderful visit with Jane from Westmoor Park in West Hartford!
Jane shared that 50% of the produce grown at Westmoor Park is delivered directly to the shelves of Freshplace food pantry, helping provide fresh, nutritious food to individuals and families in our community.
Westmoor Park is a self-funded environmental, agricultural, and horticultural education center operated by West Hartford Leisure Services. The 162-acre facility is dedicated to nurturing a lifelong commitment to environmental awareness and responsible stewardship, while offering a wide variety of educational farm and nature programs for people of all ages.
As Jane so perfectly put it, “It’s a teaching garden, but we are lucky enough to have produce to share.” And for that, we are incredibly grateful.
Thank you, Jane and the Westmoor Park volunteers & team, for helping us bring fresh, locally grown food to our neighbors through Freshplace!
