Dirtbaby Farm is raising $25,000 to continue our work next season as farmers facilitating local food programming for postpartum families in Philadelphia. Your support will assist our winter preparation for Giftbaby Postpartum Meals' 2026 season. Please support us in our milestone fifth year of operation!

Giftbaby Postpartum Meals are warm meals made from our farm’s fresh produce that are distributed on a weekly basis to caregivers who have recently given birth. Our incredible partners Paloma Irizarry and Ruben Alexis transform Dirtbaby’s fresh, local produce into these nutrient-dense meals specifically focused on postpartum health.

These meals are completely FREE for those that receive them, including home delivery.

If you know someone who might benefit from our offering, menus will continue to come out weekly through November 12th for our current season.

Our work is successful when mothers, postpartum parents, working artists, and their children are nourished by delicious food, grown with care for them to access and enjoy. We do this work to be a consistent and effective source of local food for our community, because we know that community-focused farming can make a huge impact, especially in the lives of families navigating food insecurity. We find success in this work when it is rooted in relationships–engaged in relationship to people and their needs, in relationship to land, and in relationship to an inequitable food system at large.

All donations made through this webpage are tax-deductible. This fundraiser is being supported by our fiscal sponsor, Painted Bride Art Center Inc.
