Have you met our assistant, AnnaGrace? She joined us in February and has been such an amazing addition to our farm team! She started as a volunteer in 2022, then traveled the world to gain experience with farming and gardening practices. She has a heart for people and our community loves her! Say hello next time you’re here, and ask her about tropical farming!! 😍🌺

A Brief History

Rise Up Community Farm began in February of 2019 when Global River Church generously gave us permission to use a 1/2 acre of land located behind their buildings.

February 2019- The first work began, clearing and preparing the land. Volunteers came out and helped us begin leveling a giant mound of dirt that was preventing us from planting.

March 2019- A greenhouse was built on the property and several yards of compost helped us prepare our first rows. The first seeds were sown!
