We are proud to announce that we will be once again partnering with Happy Heart Farms for the Feeding the Families program, which was started by Farm owners Dennis and Bailey Stenson in 2009, and which gets local, organic food into the homes of low income families.
From their website, "In the program’s first year, we raised enough funds to feed six families. In 2010, we raised over $12,000 to feed twenty families. In 2011, Happy Heart Farm seeks to raise $25,000 to feed forty families."
As part of this program, the Growing Project will help extend its reach by delivering Happy Heart Farm's donations of leftover produce to either the Food Bank, or the Remington House, where we have our Garden Time program.
Thanks to Happy Heart Farms for being part of what makes Fort Collins the sustainable, supportive community in which we all wish to live!
