- $78,410 spent. Food security remains a core component of our mission.

Our onsite Free Market served more than 300 community members each week, while produce deliveries to 23 local partner organizations expanded access to fresh, healthy food for thousands of residents. In partnership with Moab Manna, we also delivered 8,000 pounds of food to communities on the Navajo Nation, helping address food insecurity across the region.
- $59,123 spent. Our Village Community Center fosters connection, learning, and growth across generations through health, education, and sustainable practices on our 5-acre farm in Moab, Utah. Our programs support families with young children, promote intergenerational relationships, provide youth development through outdoor education, and strengthen community food security through local farming initiatives.In 2025, we served more than 75 families through family support programs including Family Dinners, Fridays on the Farm, prenatal and postpartum support groups, parent education opportunities, and community gatherings. These programs provide essential connection, education, and support for families during the critical early childhood years. Through the generosity of a dedicated donor, we also provided approximately $3,000 per month in preschool scholarships to low-income families, ensuring access to high-quality early childhood education and promoting long-term family well-being.Our educational programs served 30 preschool children, 18 after-school participants, and 99 summer camp attendees, providing a total of 158 days of outdoor, nature-based learning experiences on our farm campus.
