5 Loaves Farm Creating sustainable market gardens on Buffalo’s Upper West Side that produce healthy foods along with educational and economic opportunities
(24)

5 Loaves Farm creates sustainable market gardens on Buffalo’s Upper West Side that produce healthy foods along with educational and economic opportunities for neighborhood residents. The lack of healthy foods in what have been called “urban food deserts” is well documented. Just as Jesus’ first followers looked at the hungry masses and humbly offered five loaves of bread and two fish to feed them,

we too respond with compassion by bringing our five city lots and two community gardens to feed the hungry. Our spiritual convictions, along with our neighborhood’s vacant land and eager youth, provide the fertile soil needed for this initiative to grow to meet the need.

5 Loaves Farm... ..plants gardens and creates green houses to grow healthy foods...is committed to making healthy foods available and affordable to our neighbors by offering a CSA and seeking to partner with local markets and school lunch programs...donates a portion of its produce to local soup kitchens...is committed to using sustainable growing practices...provides educational programs for adults and school groups..has internship opportunities available for neighborhood youth throughout the year.

Crisp autumn air carries the scent of pumpkin spice, the sounds of live music fill the farm, and the joy of community is everywhere – people laughing, eating, and making memories.

This is the magic of our annual festival, Celebrate the Harvest.

This festival is more than just a celebration – it's a chance for us to give and receive. Our community has poured their heart into growing the harvest, and now they’re sharing the fruits of their labor with you. In return, your participation helps support 5 Loaves Farm for the coming year.

Together, we create a cycle of giving, where the effort of many becomes a blessing for all.

Entry is free and there will be fundraiser tickets sold at the door. Tickets can be used for the raffle baskets and the many delicious food options that will be available. More details to come!

So save the date, bring your friends, and help us make this year’s celebration the best one yet! Click the link below to add this to your calendar !
