Help our small family farm!

Hi! We are the Reckards-Chris & Sarah plus our 4 kids.  Our small family farm, Loves Gathering, has been slowly growing over the last 5 years in northern Arizona. We grow many varieties of medicinal herbs, heirloom vegetables, edible flowers, small fruits, and rare/endangered seed varieties for ensuring biodiversity.  We also create and sell our own herbal products for healthy living. Up until recently, we have relied upon leasing land and borrowing the use of necessary farm items from others, such as: chest coolers, fridge space,  and a vehicle for transporting our goods to market/restaurants. We finally have been able to purchase our own land and have been working tirelessly at building the soil and our own infrastructure.  In order for our farm to continue, we need to purchase our own equipment  (listed above) and build a drying/storage shed to process all of the produce efficiently.  We are committed to organic, sustainable practices that will provide habitat and water source for pollinators, native plants & animals, in addition to the crops we grow. Our passion and dream is to provide vibrant food, seeds, and medicine to our local community and beyond, especially to those in financial need. The consideration of your support is greatly appreciated! We thank you from our hearts for taking the time to read about us and look forward to growing a greener future for our Earth and its people!
