Make A Donation

 Thank you for considering partnering financially with us. Since 2009, Farmers on 57th has grown food and engaged community as an established and well-known therapeutic, educational and productive urban farm on the lawns of a long-term care facility. Your generous donation plays a crucial role in sustaining and expanding our operations. 
Here's how your contribution directly supports our mission

  • Your donation helps us invest in sustainable farming practices that prioritize environmental stewardship. From composting initiatives to providing living wages to our staff (yes, this plays a part in a sustainable growing operation!), we're dedicated to cultivating a healthier planet for future generations.

  • We believe in empowering our community through education. Your support enables us to develop and implement educational programs that teach children and adults alike about the importance of locally sourced, organic produce and sustainable living.

  • In collaboration with local partners, we work towards addressing food insecurity in our community. Your donation allows us to donate fresh produce to our neighbors in need and support initiatives that aim to eradicate hunger in our neighborhoods. See our partner organizations.

  • Farmers On 57th serves as a gathering space for community members. With your support, we can host workshops, events, and volunteer opportunities that bring people together, fostering a sense of unity and shared purpose.

  • Upgrading and maintaining our farm's infrastructure is essential for its continued success. Your contribution helps us invest in equipment built to last, tools for volunteers, and facilities that enhance our ability to serve the community. See our wishlist.

Every dollar you contribute goes directly towards creating a more sustainable, resilient, and connected community. Your generosity fuels the growth of our urban farm and enables us to make a positive impact on the lives of those we serve.
