Support chi-community agriculture's dream

Donation protected
Hello Friends, I’m Natascha, founder and CEO of Citadelle Green Mountain. After several years as an urban gardener in the City of Chicago, Citadelle Green Mountain was born to enter the agriculture market. We have been pre-approved for NRCS funding that will go towards completing the purchase and installation of a high tunnel and raised beds for further expansion. The NRCS project provides partial funding. We are raising funds to complete the 30 ft x 60 ft high tunnel and (40) raised beds build installation.
The goal is to complete installation by March/April 2025. This will help us have the harvest ready by the summer/fall of 2025. The funding will also assist us with procuring soil and moving mulch to get ready for the season. We will also procure and install additional drip lines and hoses.
Based on a 2021 report from the Food Empowerment Project, it is estimated that over 500,000 people are living in food deserts. Healthy food options are limited in various urban communities. We have witnessed recent stories of grocery stores abruptly closing in some of these economically disadvantaged communities. Those communities are devastated. This farm will be part of the solution to deal with the food desert situation plaguing various underserved communities in Chicagoland. Healthy food options and good health are connected to improving our immune system. We talk about health and wellness and what is missing in the community.

Thank you in advance and join us on this journey.
