Help Grow Something Good: Support Our Desert Farm & Community Dinners

Hi, I’m Garrett — besides being a dad to my amazing little girl, Daisy, I’m the proud farmer behind a small, community-centered farm in Bonsall, California.

We grow fresh produce that feeds families, between Bonsall (Close to Fallbrook), and Morongo Valley, a rural high-desert community that’s long been a food desert — with little or no access to fresh produce. We’re working every day to change that!

Our mission is simple: grow good food, nourish our community, and keep prices low so everyone can eat well.

Now, we’re dreaming even bigger — and we need your help.

Why We’re Fundraising

We’re raising $10,000-$15,000 to take our farm to the next stage and keep it community-supported — without needing outside investors or bank loans. Your support helps us stay local, independent, and community-driven. As well as hosting farm to table dinners to connect those curious where their food comes from, with the land it was grown on.

Here’s exactly where the funds will go:

Farm Infrastructure & Upgrades

✅ Solar Setup – $2,500

Installing a basic solar system will help reduce utility costs and make our farm more self-sustainable in the long term.

✅ Organic Certification Renewal – $1,500

Renewing our certification helps us stay transparent, sustainable, and trustworthy to the community we serve.

✅ Hand Tools – $500–$1,000

The small stuff matters — better tools mean faster planting, quicker turnover, and more efficient harvests.

✅ Walk-In Fridge (foam panels + A/C unit) – $2,000

Helps preserve fresh-picked produce and scale up distribution, especially in the desert heat.

✅ Picnic Tables – $1,200

For hosting seasonal farm dinners, educational events, field trips, and community gatherings right here on the land.

✅ Shade Cloth, Posts, Hardware, Gravel – $2,000

Creating a covered seating and prep area to host meals, provide relief from the sun, and build a welcoming space to enjoy dinners and connect with locals.

✅ Irrigation Improvements – $1,000

Upgrading drip lines and irrigation systems ensures water efficiency and healthier, more resilient crops

✅ Miscellaneous upgrades, supplies, tools, seeds, etc - $3,500

—— Why It Matters

This isn’t just about growing food — it’s about creating real access to fresh, healthy produce in a place that’s gone without it for too long.

As a full-time farmer and full-time dad, I’ve put everything into this — time, sweat, and love. So far, I’ve been able to grow the farm with no outside investors or loans. Now, with your help, we can keep it that way.
