Supporting small farms is a major part of our mission at The FruitGuys. We source fruit from independent farms for our fruit boxes whenever we can, and we also award farm grants every year through The FruitGuys Community Fund (TFGCF).
Earlier in 2024, TFGCF awarded farm grants to twenty small farms and agricultural nonprofits from sixteen different states. It was the biggest class of grantees so far! Each farm pledged to use its grant funds for sustainability projects on the farm, including everything from installing a solar dehydrator to planting a pollinator hedgerow that supports local bees and butterflies.
Before receiving their awards in the spring, each farmer agreed to send updates on their projects to TFGCF in August. Now, those updates are ināand weāre excited to share them with you.
Check out this blog on TFGCFās website to learn how each granteeās project is progressing. Highlights include Dear Native Grapesā deer fence installation, Mountain Echoes Farmsā new beehives, Tuba Farm Foundation Inc.ās Omlet chicken coop/tractor purchase, and more!
