The outpouring of support for our GoFundMe campaign has been so incredible! As we prepare for our eighth growing season, we are deeply moved by the strength of our community of neighbors, friends, and family near and far. Thank you for your donations, for spreading the word, and for sharing your stories about what the farm means to you. With all the darkness in the world these days, we have found growing together in community to be a source of hope and light. If you are local to KC, we hope that you will join us to share in the bounty of food and friendship. If you are elsewhere, we encourage you to find a farm or garden in your community to plant some seeds of hope.

We have exceeded our fundraising goal for this campaign and are going to stop accepting donations at this time. If you want to get involved, stay tuned for updates on community workdays coming soon to our Facebook and Instagram .

From the bottom of our dirty little hearts, thank you! With love,
Ami and the Longfellow Farmies

Well, friends, stewarding shared community spaces is never without its challenges. Last week, a small fire caught in the middle of the night at our beloved farm. By the time neighbors noticed and alerted farm managers and the fire department, the blaze had reached our large stack of straw bales and spread to our storage shed. Ultimately, thousands of dollars worth of tools and supplies that had taken us years to accrue were damaged. No one was hurt and the fire department put out the fire in the early morning hours, but we are now asking our community for support to recover and rebuild as we prepare for our 2022 growing season. If you are able, would you consider donating or sharing our GoFundMe?
