In 2025, we distributed upwards of 35,000 lbs of produce through H.O.P.E. of W-S and Second Harvest’s Farm Fresh NOURISH! combined. That number will grow closer to 40,000 in 2025. We are proud to be able to reach so many families in such an impactful way.

Farm Fresh NOURISH! & H.O.P.E. Outreach

Harmony Ridge (and other area farms) partner with Second Harvest Food Bank on Farm Fresh HOURISH!

The basics of the NOURISH! program are as follows:

• We deliver a set number of produce shares to partner pantries each week for 12 weeks over the course of the main harvest season. Each produce share contains 6-8 different fruits or vegetables. Second Harvest covers the cost of these shares at a fair market price.

• The partner pantry distributes one produce share per household that self-identifies as having someone with prediabetes, diabetes, or heart-related issues.

• Participants are offered recipes and nutrition education from Second Harvest to go along with their produce shares. They are also asked to be surveyed about their fruit and vegetable purchasing and consumption habits.

The H.O.P.E. Outreach Program is a partnership of the H.O.P.E. Foundation of W-S and Harmony Ridge Farms. We provide around 80 weekly produce shares over the course of 20 weeks for qualifying low-income families with children. 2026 will mark our sixth year running this program alongside Scott and crew at H.O.P.E.
