Donations will be matched and DOUBLED until the end of the year!

As we enter this holiday season, we have a big need of $15,000 and an exciting opportunity to raise our goal. If we can raise $5,000 from our network of supporters, a generous donor will double-match the donations with $10,000!

Our mission is to improve local access to fresh produce, build a healthy community and environment, and promote a just and sustainable food system.

The Mill Creek Farm implements its mission through farm-based learning programs, by cultivating and distributing fresh produce, and by demonstrating ecological technologies and creative resource use to provide for basic needs.

We believe in food justice: that everyone has a right to affordable, healthy, quality, culturally appropriate food that is accessed in a way that is community-controlled, environmentally sustainable, and socially just.
