About

The Sweat Equity Program is a Growing Forward initiative designed to provide hands-on assistance to farmers who need it most. But it’s more than just lending a hand—it’s about showing how vital, soulful, and impactful farming is for all of us. This program bridges the gap between urban and rural communities through meaningful service and education. Together, we’re building relationships grounded in reciprocity that inspire:

• farMore community-focused generosity

• farMore teamwork and shared responsibility

• farMore opportunities for learning and mentorship

• farMore joy while digging in the dirt

Join us in creating something truly extraordinary—helping farmers thrive while growing a more connected and resilient community.
