“Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.” ― Voltaire

Today, we’re especially grateful for the gift we have in our very own Development Director, Kara. ❤️

We couldn’t let this day come to an end without celebrating her and wishing her the biggest, happiest birthday!

Kara gives so much of herself to our organization. Through her dedication, talents, wisdom, and tireless work, she continually finds ways to strengthen what we do and help move our mission forward. So much of what happens behind the scenes is possible because of her commitment, and we are incredibly thankful for the heart and energy she pours into this team.

Today is a beautiful reminder that the people who give their gifts so generously are gifts themselves. We are so grateful for Kara—not only for all she does, but for who she is and for the joy, care, and purpose she brings to our team.

Happy Birthday, Kara!!! 🎉🎂 We love you and are so thankful for you! ❤️

It’s always worth remembering…there’s lots of beauty in this world, but it’s up to all of us to cultivate it.

(This isn’t just about veggies, btw 😉)

Sometimes you get to work and realize you’ve inadvertently twinned! The real question is…Who wore it best?!?!

We all know there’s only one right answer (and it’s not him) 😜

We’re thankful for volunteers from FirstBank Southwest who worked hard in this blast furnace of August. They helped us put up phase one of a greenhouse/outdoor classroom for the awesome new school on the Northside, goldenplainscommunityschool! We love seeing good people do good things for the community!

Collaboration is how we create change!

The heat has slowed things down at the urban farm and everything we harvested this week already has a home. Because of that, we won’t have any extra tomorrow morning. Things should be better next week and we will plan on having things for market next Friday!

Corn is still sweet and good! Feel free to get out there and pick some. Check out our other posts if you need instructions!
BUT if you can’t make it out there, we do have some that our crew picked today…along with some of our cheap frills salad mix we harvested yesterday. Come see us from 9-12 at the urban farm on 6th st tomorrow (Friday)!

Come get sweet corn! Thanks to the generosity of the Cleavinger family YOU can come get fresh sweet corn straight from the farm for the third year running.

Here’s the rules:

Pick some, give some.

Pick some for yourself, pick some to share with someone who needs it.

Pick only what you need so there is enough to go around and nothing goes to waste.

If you can, please take a second to make a donation to support feeding our community. https://givebutter.com/mi2harvest

DIRECTIONS:
4 miles south of Wildorado on HY 809 turn east and off the dirt road.
Check out the video for instructions!


Please only pick the sweet corn (it’s the short stuff!) as the other in the field is cow corn and tastes awful!!!

Buying store bought lettuce got you nervous?
We have several bags of produce available for purchase! Cheap frills salad mix, cheap frugula salad mix (see photo), baby tri color kale, loose leaf salad mix, and a couple bags of delicious fresh radishes and baby hakurei turnips.

We will have farm stand hours tomorrow from 9am until 12 pm. Come see us at the farm (3908 SW 6th) for your salad greens need and support our work in the community at the same time!
