Local Food Security = 20,000 pounds

The SVFC Project is setting a goal of giving away 20,000 pounds of fresh produce.

Wednesday afternoons the farm will be focused on growing, harvesting, & delivery for the food pantries.  Come on out to the farm and give a hand.  The food pantries we serve are: 

  • Buxton Community Cupboard
  • Hollis Center Baptist Church Food Pantry
  • Limington Congregational Church Food Pantry
  • Riverside Methodist Church Food Pantry in Kezar Falls
  • St. Matthew’s Food Pantry in Limerick
  • Standish Food Pantry
  • Catherine's Cupboard in Steep Falls
  • The Root Cellar in Portland

The volunteer groups Cultivate of Support Solutions and Life Works of Waban have taken on the responsibility of growing a garden at the farm for the primary purpose of giving food away to the Buxton Food Pantry.  We appreciate their willingness & dedication in all kinds of weather to work on this project.

In our last two fiscal years the SVFC project gave away over 10,000 pounds per year.  This year we are expanding our total growing acreage to enable us to give even more away!
