What else does Eighth Day Farm do?
Eighth Day Farm is a local, agricultural non-profit organization with this purpose: to practice gospel inspired creation care. It’s the time of year for CSA signup, so we’ve been busy posting some updates about our CSA, which takes good care of people and the land through sustainable, regenerative farming.
But the CSA is only part of what we do. Our other major emphasis is our program work, in which we try to expand access to healthy eating in our community. We’ve hosted workshops, built backyard gardens, donated produce, trained agricultural interns, employed local youth, and (our current initiative) produced New Fast Food bags. The New Fast Food bags contain all the ingredients needed to prepare a certain meal, with instructions included to get people having fun and learning to make dishes from scratch.
We grow the veggies and prepare the bags at our Growth Center site and deliver the bags to partnering food pantries for distribution. Sales of shares fund our CSA but our program work is funded by donations. We’d love it if you’d consider becoming a sustaining member – donating $5 (or more) each month to help provide healthy meals to local families in need. Lots more info on New Fast Food is available here and sign up to be a sustaining member here.
