Akron Cooperative Farms

THANK YOU for your support and friendship -- 130 gardeners and their families cannot continue to GROW at the farm without YOU, and we are deeply grateful.

Today we’re reaching out to kick off the holidays with thanks for another bountiful growing season this past year, and also with a very special appeal:
Help us “re-wrap” our hoophouse!

https://akroncoopfarms.org/help-us-grow/

A windstorm in October seriously damaged one of our 2 main hoophouses, and we must fix it up in time for growing season 2025 – which begins much earlier than you might think! This repair is essential to year 2 of our new hoophouse pilot social-enterprise program, which kicked off last summer and was a fantastic success – now we’ve got work to do to take it “next level” for year 2!

This season, we’re raising funds for this repair ($2,000), and some equipment that will support both the hoophouse program and our gardeners in their plots! If you are able to help, any and all contributions are deeply appreciated.

We wish you a warm and wonderful Giving Tuesday!! Help us repair: https://akroncoopfarms.org/help-us-grow/

The crazy wind from yesterday did a number on our hoophouse. Looks like we have some work to do! We have had great production as we've been focused on our production. Pray we find the right strategy to repair this!
