Supporting our Newest Neighbors

In light of recent shifts in federal funding, which have left our most vulnerable neighbors without essential support services, we are hoping to use the majority of this year's harvest to set up free farmers markets for families who are facing food insecurity. If you would like to support this initiative, please visit our donate page and select Free Farmers Markets on the drop down menu.

New Staff Members

Netta Edwards is now our full time Director of Food and Nutrition Programs


"Greetings Spring Forest Family and Friends,

I'm super excited to connect folks with our local food system while helping build better food relationships through "garden-to-fork” cooking and nutrition programs for families. Whether through our school-based program Hands-On-Nutrition-Education (H.O.N.E), Mommy & Me cooking sessions or Farm Dinners, I want to enhance your families' daily nutrition and mealtime rhythms."

--Chef Netta
