Black Thumb Farms is a community farm with donation programs to finance the program.

"As a community organization, we offer our programs at zero cost to all participants. We consider this a hand-up, not a hand-out.

Consider donating today to help us continue to grow, nourish, and empower more youth in our community!"

Feeding Our Community

85% of the crops we grow are culturally relevant to our youth and their families. During our programming year, all of the food grown on the farm is harvested and taken home by our program participants. We prioritize growing culturally relevant crops so the food grown can be used and eaten, limiting waste and prioritizing our people's heritage and culture.

This Summer marks the launch of our brand new program, Youth in Bloom! Designed as a way to give high school aged youth work experience and mentorship, we are hiring youth from our programs and community to work with us on the Farm.
