We’ve talked about our sponsor Plant It Forward beforeย whenย Jessica and her family fell in love with their farmsย back in the summer, and we can understand why.
Here’s why we love Plant It Forward so much…
- They offer a popular Farm Share membership program. ย Each subscription purchased allows forย a refugee farmer to get closer to earning a living wage.
- They’re growing a greener Houston. All produce is grown within the city limits.
- They offer the freshest produce available in Houston. Their produce is harvested the day before it’s delivered and sometimes even the day of.
- They do not use chemicals, pesticides, and GMOs.
- The farmers are refugees, many of whom have fled their homelands to avoid violence and persecution, to come here seeking the American Dream. These farmers must have had prior farming experience or have completed an extensive year long training here. ย Supporting Plant It Forward means supporting these refugees and helping them become self-sufficientย entrepreneurs who can then support themselves and their families.
- And did we mention that we love their Farm Share program?
Plant it Forward is now accepting new memberships for their Farm Share program. ย Farm Sharing allows for a direct partnership between us, the consumers, and the farmer and translates into fresh harvested produce each week! ย Early bird pricing will end on December 15th with December 26th being the deadline, and they do offer payment plans! The specifics of a Farm Share can be found here. ย It’s a terrific value and will provide a family of 3-5 with 6-8 vegetables and/or herbs for one week. ย Plus, it in turn helps provide for another family — the farmer’s family.
How cool would it be to have a Plant It Forward farm in every neighborhood? ย That’s their goal, but they can only achieve that goal by Houstonians, like usย and you, supporting them.
