The goal, she says, is to spark a conversation with guests that can lead to solutions to a large number of issues ranging from food insecurity to higher education.

“While we’re absolutely devastated, we’re currently working overtime with our team to replant crops and could use your help to get the Farm back up and running.⁠”
