The Holistic Homestead has been working from the grassroots up since 2013 to Build Healthy Communities through education, outreach, and advocacy. But we haven’t made it this far on our own steam! It has taken thousands of volunteer hours, a growing network of members, sponsors, and philanthropists who believe in our mission to improve health and wellness by empowering our community.
Farmers Markets don’t happen magically – it takes a lot of work, and a lot of people to come together! Read about WHY farmers markets are so important for every community, and HOW you can help us keep putting on this great event!
Local Food Systems need YOU to thrive! Take the PLEDGE to #shoplocal and support the small, local businesses in your community NOW before they’re gone….
Sometimes it’s hard to quantify the benefit of choosing to shop at small, local markets rather than “big box” stores in the cities. There is no ready formula for the “Return On Investment” that our community enjoys because the Homestead is stocked and open to the public six days a week. We do, however, have some compelling data.
The Community Food Share started in 2018 with just a few crates of veggies, and now we have a whole cooler to fill! Help us keep our cooler stocked and our community healthy, join the CFS today!
