Looking for a great 3-minute read about the benefits of school gardens for kids - take a look at this NPR report: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2015/08/10/426741473/healthy-eaters-strong-minds-what-school-gardens-teach-kids?utm_source=npr_newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_content=20190125&utm_campaign=npr_email_a_friend&utm_term=storyshare BTW, shout out to Green Lake Elementary for being on board with this important work!

Do you know who grows your food? Do you know the footprint your produce leaves as it travels from state to state and country to country? This video provides a similar model to what we are doing here at Jon the Farmer - Urban Farmer. We believe ALL people have the right to fresh and nutritious food. By partnering with like-minded land owners, we are working towards making this more and more attainable. Please support our vision! Thank you to Anita Shelton for sharing this with us!

We wanted to take a moment to thank you for your on-going support of Jon the Farmer - Urban Farmer.  During the "quiet" season, we have been busy prepping current and new land-loaners' plots, as well as planning for the 2019 season. We are so excited for what's just around the corner!!

A great project we have been working on behind-the-scenes is a crowd funding event, that will allow us a mere 60-days to fully fund our goal of increasing our knowledge base of organic, urban-farmed produce, as well as create and partner with a processing facility so that we can ensure your produce is delivered to you as fresh and nutrient-rich, as possible.

Won't you take a moment to explore our project and, if you are so inclined, donate whatever you can, as every bit adds up! Take a look at our cool donation rewards, as another means of showing our appreciation and helping you get closer and closer to becoming an organic, urban-farm movement motivator!! And please, we ask that you pass this along to others (local and not-so-local) that may love this idea and want to be a supporter, too.
