Heart of the Farm is the future home of a Neighborhood Market Cooperative and Community Kitchen—right in the heart of Fountain Heights. This space will increase access to fresh, local food in a USDA-defined food desert and create new opportunities for our neighbors to earn, grow, and thrive.

What Heart of the Farm Makes Possible:

🍎 Food Access

25,000+ pounds of fresh food grown each year
3,000+ local residents served
Classroom space for food and nutrition education

💼 Economic Opportunity

9 quality jobs created
Affordable commercial kitchen for local food entrepreneurs
Beautification that boosts neighborhood home values

Where are we in the process?

✅ Permits & Zoning

🚧 Construction ← We’re here! (See our Groundbreaking Ceremony)

THE CHALLENGE

Like many building projects today, we’re feeling the squeeze of rising construction costs. Since we first began fundraising, inflation has pushed prices up significantly. Now that we’ve broken ground and construction is underway, we’re facing a $300,000 funding gap.

Without closing this gap, we can’t finish the full build-out—limiting the functionality of the space and impacting our ability to deliver on our mission.

Let’s Close the Gap

Your support will help us finish what we started—and deliver on the promise of fresh food and economic opportunity for Fountain Heights.

Our community knows how to make $1 out of $0.15—we’ve done it time and time again. But we shouldn’t have to stretch every dollar just to build something this essential.

This space will feed families, create jobs, and bring dignity and opportunity back to our neighborhood.
