3 Cycles of Giving
Donate once, once-in-a-while or monthly. It's all good. If you are on the fence, why not consider a cycle of monthly donations - they will help create a more stable (and sustainable!) Foundation.
2 Specify or Not?
Donate to the General Fund and we'll put it to use where the need is greatest. Or you may earmark your donation to be allocated to the Compassionate Relief Fund.
1 Circle
Consider your donation as an important part of the sustainable food cycle.
This "green" compost will spur the growth of more educational activities and charitable aid - which will in turn spur the growth of more farmers, food and consumers. Coming full circle these enlivening foods will spur us to do more, teach more and give more.

GIVE A HAND TO A FARMER IN NEED
Farm-to-Consumer Foundation Compassionate Relief Fund
The Farm-to-Consumer Foundation provides compassionate relief funds to farmers who have endured a farm raid or other financial hardship related to their direct-to-consumer sales.
Farmers often put their families and livelihoods at risk to be able to provide nutrient-dense foods to people who understand how important real nutrition is.
If we don't do anything to stop the government agencies and larg- food interests from putting these courageous people out of business, then there will soon be nothing left to eat, except the useless calories the corporations allow us.
By the rude bridge that arched the flood,
Their flag to April's breeze unfurled;
Here once the embattled farmers stood;
And fired the shot heard round the world.Ralph Waldo Emerson - from "Concord Hymn"
