SHARE THE HARVEST
Across the country, folks are feeling the effects of government funding reductions. See this NYTimes article for the existential threat in New York. Across the country, communities are rallying to support food dignity. Right here in New York, food pantries and the food insecure are under more and more pressure. Fortunately, people are stepping in to make sure farms are able to donate their produce to school children and vulnerable populations served by food banks. Fortunately, right here on the North Shore of Nassau County, there is a wonderful food pantry we have partnered with for five years, NOSH Delivers. Every dollar you donate will go toward Orkestai donating its produce to this venerable organization.
If you're visiting this page, there's a good chance that you value access to fresh, healthy produce to nourish your family and friends. That's an important reason why we founded and run Orkestai Farm. We couldn't imagine going for very long without fresh produce. And as a 501(c)3 non-profit community-based organization, we recognize that modern life does not often offer feasible paths toward good food and health for so many. As a community farm, it is part of our mission to share our bountiful harvest as inclusively as possible. With food prices cutting into budgets like never before, there has never been a better time to make an impact on your neighbors’s lives.
Two generous donors have already contributed $1,200. Let's see how quickly we reach our goal of $10,000 and beyond!
NOSH was founded during Covid-19 to address food insecurity. We’ve donated nearly $20,000 worth of produce to them and our produce has been one of their most valued donations. For reasons of perishability and cost, quality donated produce is hard to come by and surveys have revealed it is the most desired food.
Here are some photos from a previous campaign where we surpassed our $10,000 goal of donations to NOSH.
