Help Save The Farm at Green Space!
Donation protected
Jason Keeney, local father, farmer, and small business owner, puts love into every single plant that he grows. He uses natural techniques and tried and true farming practices to bring our community fresh and flavorful produce. He worked hard in silence during the COVID closures to grow his business the best that he could, but the pandemic took its toll. Jason breathed life back into local farmers markets in Yucaipa and Calimesa and now we have multiple! The positive outreach this has had in our Inland Empire communities cannot be overstated.
Unfortunately, being a small independent farmer is expensive. In fact, costs frequently total up to ~$160 per day in order to provide the community with the freshest healthiest produce. That doesn't account for the bright and vibrant community that Jason has brought together and his welcoming smile is always free!
However, the damage from COVID closures and inflation has finally caught up and Keeney Family Farms is quickly facing permanent closure.
If you are in a position to help preserve our local Yucaipa community, and a local small farmer who is creating family friendly, community building spaces where all are welcome to join and live a happier and healthier, more connected life, please consider donating to save this farm.
Every single dollar from this fundraiser will go directly towards saving the farm. Without your help we will lose this community gem and many will be forced to go back to eating food and produce straight from big box stores.
Thank you all for three years of building this space and we hope to keep serving you guys for many more to come.
Updates:
8/28 - We are also working hard behind the scenes on fundraising, calls, and any other avenues of helping save the farm. Thank you for your support and donations so far!
