Helpings of Hope Farms

Helpings of Hope feeds hundreds of community members each year and supports over 40 gardeners from 9 countries in growing fresh produce for food pantries, farm stands, farmer's markets for local families living in food deserts. We’re breaking down barriers to food access, preserving cultural heritage, and fostering a sense of belonging for all. Our 3-acre farm in Nora and satellite farm on the near eastside grows a wide variety of produce, including lenga-lenga, African eggplant, managu, pumpkin leaf, sweet potato leaf, okra, collards, and tomatoes—many of which are culturally significant in our community.
