Hi my loving community, I am expanding the farm this year and not by land mass, but by community reach! I’m in need of more vehicle space that allows us to move a greater supply of Pura Farms produce and reach even more people across the state. As an aggregator, your support will also allow us to purchase and pick up more produce from our partnering farmers in New Jersey, not only providing them with a greater source of income, but also increasing accessibility of NJ produce to restaurants and institutions. Reliable and consistent access to wholesale markets doesn’t exactly exist for farmers just yet, at least not in the way we need it to, so it’s about time we build it! Greater storage capacity in a vehicle is our first step.
And yes…for the past year I’ve been shuffling farm fresh products across NJ in my personal vehicle. So it’s about time we upgrade to something more reliable, more aligned with food safety standards, and with more space for serving others farmers and communities.
We’ve graciously received a small amount of grant funding to get us started, but need to fundraise a bit more capital to push us over the hump.
I’ve said it since day one, and I’ll say it again, you all never fail to show up for me, my farm, and in turn for your own communities. I appreciate you deeply. And want to thank you so much for even taking the time to read this.
Even if you don’t have the means to support financially, sharing the fundraiser with others is just as impactful! And if nothing else, your love and support have taken me this far, we’ll keep going no matter what.
Big love & forward momentum, Christina
