π± Help Launch a Teaching Farm in Chesapeake, VA
From Your Garden to Your Table β Where Food, Family, and Community Grow Together
Goal: $175,000 by January 1, 2026Move-In: January 2026 | Open to the Public: April 2026
π§βπΎ Our Vision
Imagine a place where children collect fresh eggs, grandparents learn to grow herbs, and families reconnect through hands-on farm experiences. Thatβs what weβre building: a 2+ acre teaching farm in Chesapeake, Virginia β and we need your help to bring it to life.
From Your Garden to Your Table is a grassroots education project that empowers families to grow, raise, and cook their own food. We believe food access, sustainability, and community education go hand-in-hand β and it all starts right here.
π Why We Need Your Help
To open our gates by April 2026, we need to raise $175,000 by January 1, 2026 to fund critical startup costs:
- Lease or purchase 2+ acres of land
- Build fencing, raised beds, greenhouses, and animal shelters
- Bring in starter animals (chickens, ducks, goats, quail, fish)
- Set up our outdoor classroom and kitchen (Health Dept. approved)
- Install gardens, ponds, and grow spaces for the public
- Launch our volunteer barter system & community food access programs
Every dollar helps us lay a foundation β not just for a farm, but for a future where food is accessible, hands-on learning is free, and nature is a classroom.
