Organization: Our Neighbors Farm & Pantry
Mission: The mission of Our Neighbors Farm & Pantry is to meet the hunger needs of our community by aquiring, growing, and distributing food and to provide education on nutrition and sustainable gardening.
Activities: Our Neighbors Farm is a community farm. Its fresh, local vegetables are distributed through our food bank and other local non-profits. We also provide gardening education for elementary students and other community groups.
Our Neighbors Pantry currently distributes food to over 1900 persons in need. The pantry also delivers vegetables grown to local non-profits serving elderly and at-risk populations. Additional distributions go to other food banks.
The Roadrunner Bunkhouse and Cactus House (Cactus)is about 3.5 acres with two buildings. Our Neighbors Farm & Pantrys director is currently living in the Cactus House. The Roadrunner Bunkhouse is used as housing for AmeriCorps teams, interns and employees.
