Be the reason someone has healthy food this month.💚🫶🥬

A donation of $30 can provide enough nutritious produce for one person for 30 days. Even more impactful, a monthly gift can provide enough produce for the entire year. 🔗 Donate today: https://giving.gofundme.com/campaign/776585/donate

Fresh food is something every family deserves. Yet for many it remains out of reach. Help us grow and give more fresh fruits and vegetables for families in need this year. 👨‍🌾💚🤝🌽

Farm update from the week of May 11th 🌱

Our farm team has been hard at work laying plastic and planting transplants and seeds as we gear up for our biggest harvest season yet! 🚜👨‍🌾

So far, our eggplant, pepper, and tomato fields are planted and on their way to producing fresh, nutritious food for families facing food insecurity. As the season ramps up, we need extra hands in the fields to help us harvest for our neighbors in need.

Join us on the farm and be part of the harvest. Learn more about volunteering at www.americasgrowarow.org/volunteer 🤝💚🌱

Stronger Together Against Hunger 💪 Last week we hosted our food bank partners at the farm to celebrate the impact of our collaboration to feed more NJ residents in need, plan for the upcoming harvest season, and give partners a firsthand look at our farming operations by planting one of our fields.

Through our partnership with The Community FoodBank of New Jersey, Fulfill, Mercer Street Friends, Food Bank of South Jersey, Norwescap New Jersey, and the Mid-Atlantic Regional Cooperative (MARC), we increased retention of our New Jersey-grown harvest from 34% in 2024 to 64% in 2025.

Together, we’re helping ensure more fresh, nutritious produce stays in New Jersey to serve communities in need across all 21 counties. A special thanks to all food bank members for attending, as well as Joe Atchison, New Jersey Assistant Secretary of Agriculture. 🌱🥬🌽
