Grow Hope with Us This Giving Tuesday
Every season begins with a seed. At JK Community Farm, every seed grows more than food. It grows health, learning, and hope.
This Giving Tuesday and through the end of the year, your generosity will plant the 2026 growing season. Your gift will fund the soil, seeds, and hands that make nutrient-dense, healing food possible for thousands of families across our region.
Thanks to JK Moving’s Dollar-for-Dollar Match, every donation made before December 31 will be doubled. Together we can grow twice as much nourishment, connection, and opportunity for those who need it most.
The earth gives freely, so do we. Every harvest reflects that belief, and every gift from you helps us continue to give freely too.
Why Your Support Matters Now More Than Ever
The need for truly nutritious food is greater than it has ever been. Across our region, food pantries are serving record numbers of families while federal food assistance programs continue to face cuts.
Families experiencing food insecurity are often left with inexpensive, highly processed options that fill stomachs but do not provide the nutrients our bodies need to thrive. These foods contribute to rising rates of diabetes, heart disease, and other chronic illnesses.
That is why our work matters. Every pound of food we grow is fresh, chemical-free, and packed with nutrients that restore health and strengthen immunity. We grow food that supports long-term wellbeing, helping families heal from the inside out.
Our Goal: $500,000 for the 2026 Season
Your support will grow more food, more variety, and more nutrient density for our community.
Increase Production and Variety
Your gift helps us expand our growing space and plant more nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables that meet both the cultural and dietary needs of the families we serve. Together we can ensure that every family has access to the highest quality, most nourishing food available.
Strengthen Our Infrastructure
Support for irrigation, cold storage, and soil health initiatives allows us to increase efficiency and preserve the nutrient density of every harvest from field to pantry.
Grow Education and Empowerment
Each year, more than 2,500 students and volunteers visit our farm to learn how healthy soil creates healthy food, and how healthy food creates healthy communities. Your generosity supports field trips for Title I schools, nutrition workshops, and community programs that teach families how to grow and cook nutrient-dense food.
The Impact of Your Gift
$25 grows 35 pounds of produce, about 140 nutrient-dense servings. $100 provides one month of fresh, healthy food for a family. $1,000 grows 1,400 pounds of vegetables full of vitamins and minerals that improve health. $5,000 sustains a quarter acre, producing 20,000 servings of fresh, nutrient-rich food.
It costs only $0.71 to grow and deliver one pound of nutrient-dense produce to families who need it most.
Food Is Medicine
We believe that food should heal. Every vegetable, fruit, egg, and pound of protein grown at JK Community Farm is donated directly to families facing food insecurity. Our produce is grown in healthy soil, which is rich in organic matter and natural minerals that enhance nutrient content.
The result is food that supports physical and mental health, strengthens immune systems, and helps prevent chronic disease. This is nourishment that goes beyond calories — it is the kind of food every family deserves.
“JK Community Farm has made a huge difference for so many of us. Not only do food banks have fresh, good-looking produce, but they have a wide variety of it. It is exciting to be able to make seasonal dishes and not the same meals month after month.” — Partner Food Pantry Client

About the JK Community Farm
Our passion is strong. Our mission is clear.
The JK Community Farm was founded with a single, focused goal: To enhance the quality of life for people facing food insecurity. Everything we dedicate ourselves to do – from raising organic fruits, vegetables, and protein, to distributing them to food partners in surrounding counties, to providing nutrition education and furthering respect for the land – is designed to help us meet that goal.
“ I like to give my kids fresh vegetables and I was worried when I couldn’t really afford them anymore. I’m so glad the food pantry has them for families like mine. My kids really like the green peppers. ”
