Restoring Two Historic Greenhouses to Feed Our Community
Donation protected
Thistle Jade Farms has taken on the restoration of a once-beloved local property, known for its rich flower-growing history. Though the land was neglected before we arrived, we see its potential to become something truly meaningful again.
We’re raising funds to restore two large industrial greenhouses into productive, year-round growing spaces focused on fresh, local produce, community education, and giving back to those in need.
With your help, we can transform this property into a place that nourishes not just the land, but the people around it. Every donation supports our mission to grow healthy food and stronger communities, right here, from the ground up.
Our first goal is to raise enough to restore the greenhouses. After that, we will focus on complete restoration of the historical brick building.
Thank You for Growing With Us
From all of us at Thistle Jade Farms, thank you for believing in this dream. Your support isn’t just helping us restore a few old greenhouses—you’re helping revive a piece of local history and build something that gives back to the entire community.
Because of you, we’re one step closer to growing food that nourishes, teaching skills that empower, and creating a space that welcomes all. We truly couldn’t do this without you.
We’ll be sharing updates on our progress, and we hope you’ll stay connected as this project takes root and grows.
With gratitude,
The Thistle Jade Farms Family
