Our beloved Lil Bertha, the Troy Farm Tractor, needs your help! This tractor is currently out of commission, which means our dedicated farm team is relying on a borrowed rig to keep things running smoothly. But Lil Bertha is an essential part of Rooted’s farming operations helping us plant, cultivate, and bring fresh, healthy food to our community here on the northside.

The good news? An incredibly generous donor has offered a matching gift, which means every dollar you donate for Lil Bertha's repairs will be doubled! Our goal is to raise enough funds to get Lil Bertha into the shop this fall so they'll be ready to roll by planting season next spring.

How you can help Lil Bertha get back to work:

Make a Donation: Every contribution, big or small, gets us closer to our goal. Your gift will be matched, making twice the impact for Lil Bertha and Troy Farm!
Strike a Pose with Lil Bertha! If you are out at Troy Farm and Gardens, we're asking for a donation of $5-$20 to snap a picture with Lil Bertha! It's a fun way to support their repairs while getting a unique Troy Farm memory. Just remember, Lil Bertha is real farm equipment, so please be safe, use care when climbing.

We'll be updating our progress regularly, so keep an eye out to see how close we are to getting Lil Bertha back in action.

Thank you for helping us bring Lil Bertha back to life and ensuring Troy Farm continues to grow for our community!
