From Here to There

2014

The idea of Share the Harvest begins! Customers can ‘opt in’ to receiving free produce with their orders, with the intent to Share the Harvest with a friend, neighbor, or someone in need.

2014

2015-2016

Doubled down and began delivering free weekly produce boxes. Employees from Fresh Harvest personally delivered these boxes to families and neighbors they had identified from their community as in need.

2015-2016

2017

We begin growing culturally appropriate vegetables (think: Thai chilis and squash greens) in the Fresh Harvest garden in preparation for the launch of our first Share the Harvest Market at Willow Branch Apartments! Our first market began in May 2017.

Hosted field trips for local schools and afterschool programs and organized a horticultural therapy program at our farm in Clarkston.
