Bucks County Foodshed Alliance (BCFA) has been offering Small Farm Grants to farmers in the Bucks County region since our inception in 2006. The grants aim to provide funds to local farmers to make capital and other improvements supporting the farms’ long-term health. It prioritizes farms that employ sustainable agricultural practices. BCFA is pleased to have awarded a grant to Rolling Harvest Food Rescue.
About Rolling Harvest:
Rolling Harvest Food Rescue (RHFR) operates three Grow‐To‐Give (G2G) donation farms that supply fresh, culturally relevant produce directly to their hunger‐relief partners. Together, these fields strengthen their weekly distributions by expanding both crop diversity and overall volume. Their flagship site is the three‐acre G2G farm at Gravity Hill Farm, where they have produced more than 140,000 pounds of vegetables and herbs using organic, soil‐building practices that prioritize long‐term land health and high‐quality harvests for donation.
About the Grant:
Rolling Harvest is using the grant award to purchase farm supplies for two of their new G2G farms. They purchased essential harvest and gleaning supplies such as harvest knives, clippers, trowels, gloves, rakes, storage containers, and trellising twine.
Rolling Harvest writes:
This grant provides our volunteers with the essential tools they need to grow, harvest, and glean fresh produce for our community. Supplies such as harvest knives, clippers, trowels, gloves, rakes, storage containers, and trellising twine help support the work happening across all of our RHFR donation farms.
We are incredibly grateful for partners like the Bucks County Foodshed Alliance who recognize the importance of local food production and invest in the people and resources that make this work possible.
