Water – Sustain Life

Our first and most crucial need is establishing a sustainable water system. This includes:

  • Drilling a well (January, $30,000)
  • Installing a pump (February, $10,000)
  • Setting up water storage (February, $10,000)
  • Creating irrigation systems (March, $5,500)
  • ($55,500 total)

Your contribution to water infrastructure will quite literally help the farm flow with life for years to come.

Garden Beds – Touch The Earth


We’re starting with three garden beds (75′ x 50′ each), with plans to expand to ten. Initial needs include:

  • Soil testing and consultation (January, $3,000)
  • Organic compost and soil preparation (February, $2,000)
  • Essential hand tools for mindful farming (February, $3,600)
  • Fencing to protect our growing spaces (March, $1,000)
  • Initial seedlings from Sage Hill Ranch Gardens (February, $2,900)
  • ($12,500 total)

Your gift helps create the fertile ground where our community will grow together.

Greenhouse – Protect and Nurture

The greenhouse will allow us to extend our growing season and nurture seedlings. We need:

  • Site preparation (April, $1,000)
  • Greenhouse structure (April, $25,000)

  • ($29,700 total)

Supporting the greenhouse means we will be able to nurture our own seedlings.

  • Washing station (May, $7,000)
