Project
Farm Name
Heartbeet Market Garden
Farm Project Description
Passionate grower dedicated to serving my community by producing high quality, fresh food and natural products.
Placing quality ahead of quantity — putting our heart in every plant from seed to harvest.
Growing using natural ways to promote a healthy, sustainable, and productive environment. We do not use any chemicals or pesticides in our garden.
The ever present issue of food insecurity paired with her passions stemmed the creation of Heartbeet Market Garden. Utilizing small farming techniques - that will build soil life, and Urban Farming techniques - including hydroponics and microgreens. Heartbeet Market Garden will grow pesticide and chemical free nutrient dense produce which will then be harvested and sold fresh to families within its community and a portion of the produce donated to the local food bank to care for its community.
