Sponsor-a-Plot Feeds our Community

BySchool of Adaptive Agriculture

The Sponsor-A-Plot Campaign for the Farm Fresh Food Drive is up and running, and we have begun distributing fresh, healthy produce to our local community.New Logo 6-1-08

Our first stop was to the Ukiah Plowshares where we delivered 35 pounds of summer squash and 25 pounds of cucumbers to a very dedicated and happy crew of cooks in their kitchen. Plowshares serves five hot, free meals per week in their dining room in addition to providing Meals-On-Wheels services. Over 27,000 meals and 24,000 deliveries are made annually through this incredible organization. We were proud to provide the cooks with fresh organic produce!

Thank you to our donors, and please consider passing on the word to other community members who would like to see their donation multiplied throughout our community!
