Your gift builds community, increasing access to nourishing food and quality outdoor education.

Here’s how your gift can impact our work with the community!

 

$25: Cover the cost for one kid to attend a field trip!
Last year over 1,500 youth visited the farm for field trips where kids participated in activities that centered around herbalism, cooking, nature crafting, native trees, and macro-catch investigation.

$40: Provide a Community Chef prepared family meal!
Over 500 people attended our community cultural celebrations last year, including Juneteenth and Día de los Muertos, where our Community Chefs prepared and served over 800 culturally relevant meals featuring farm produce.

$100: Bring a DDSD family to attend Open Farm Day!
From March to November of last year, 946 people participated in seasonal activities at 35 weekly Open Farm Days. These events allow for families to build connections to nature and their neighbors, while enjoying lunch prepared by our Community Chefs.

$250: Deliver CSA veggies to your neighbors!
Our neighborhood CSA, which operates under a sliding-scale model, provides 135 shares that feed over 200 people. Our CSA Partnerships for Health program provides 7,560 weekly shares of vegetable ‘prescriptions’ annually through 110 in-person health clinic pick-ups and 960 winter deliveries.

$500: Send a kid to a week of Farm Camp!
Our Farm Camps offer sliding scale registration so every family can attend. Last year we provided no cost admission to our summer camp for 28 families. Overall, the median household income for summer camp families is 22% less compared to the overall median in Portland.

$1,000: Support an entire class to attend Farm School!
In the last year we worked with over 1,620 David Douglas School District (DDSD) 5th graders as a part of Farm School. Survey results showed that 100% of students agreed the experience at Zenger Farm fostered and encouraged comfort in the natural world.
