New and Beginning Farmers Fund

Provides 2 reusable field totes to pick produce and other market items into. Additionally it provides a transport method of goods to market. This may seem small. But new farmers spend thousands of dollars just getting the basics in todays market.

This amount provides 1 package of needed items related to basic measurements and recording. The pack includes EC&PH probe, soil sampling rod and Midwest Produce Growers Book.

This amount supports our donation department with repairing and recovering donated equipment. Most of what we receive is older, broken or in need of costly mechanic hours to fix. Making the cost of repairs needed greater than the value of the equipment.

This amount allows for 40 hours of equipment rental for heavy equipment needs. Laying irrigation lines, digging ponds for water habitats and irrigation needs is expensive and almost always prevents farmers from even starting the journey.
