The 2026 growing season has begun in earnest with produce donations starting up!!  The first donation was garlic scapes, and was delivered to ECHO Food Shelf, St. Peter Food Shelf, and MY Place earlier this month. 

The rhubarb, peas, peppers, basil (both genovese and lemon), chives, sage and cilantro pictured here are our second donation and were donated to Connections Shelter and to the St. Peter Food Shelf.  

We are excited to have the produce donation season underway - follow the Community Farm on Facebook (if you don't already) for the insider look at what's happening at the farm!  Our goal is to again donate over 3,000 lbs of fresh organic produce to our Community Partners (which include those listed above, as well as South Central MN Food Recovery, FOCP, Mayo Eastridge Food Fridge, and more!).  

If you want to help us grow the produce for donation, we invite you to volunteer at the community farm!  We have opportunities for individuals, groups, and also our monthly Community Volunteer Days where we offer free dinner - click here for more information about volunteering and sign up links!  Or if you see us while your on the Red Jacket Trail, pop in and say hello!  We'd love to see you at the Farm this summer!!
