Hi, I'm August, founder of August Farms, a community-driven initiative based in Indianapolis dedicated to building food sovereignty one meal at a time.

In too many neighborhoods across Indianapolis, fresh herbs and nourishing food feel like a luxury. Food deserts -- places where grocery stores are miles away and fast food is the only option -- leave families without access to the basics. August Farms is changing that.

We create beautiful, self-watering window herb garden kits that make growing fresh food at home simple and accessible for everyone. Each kit includes a live herb plant start sourced from local Indianapolis nurseries, organic soil, and a self-watering jar system -- everything you need to grow basil, rosemary, or cilantro right on your windowsill.

Here's what makes August Farms different: for every kit purchased, we sponsor an identical kit for a family in need. Not a lesser version -- the same quality, same packaging, same dignity. Because sovereignty starts with knowing you can nourish yourself.

Your donation will help us:

- Purchase live herb plant starts from local nurseries

- Assemble and distribute window garden kits to families across Indianapolis

- Build educational programming around growing, harvesting, and cooking with fresh herbs

- Launch our website and subscription model for long-term sustainability

Our goal is to distribute 200 kits in our first year -- half sold, half sponsored. Every dollar brings us closer to a community where fresh food isn't a privilege, it's a right.

Thank you for believing in the power of a single plant to change a life. Together, we're building community sovereignty one windowsill at a time.
