b'Farm and Food Access2020We had to make adaptations to serve a community during a crisis. We increased ourdonation proportion, introduced a delivery option, and partnered to deliver preparedmeals and staple goods alongside fresh produce to youth and families in ourcommunity. The Dream of Wild Health farm team grew over 16,500 pounds (8.25tons) of food, donating over 6,000 pounds to the community. Thanks to communityand funder support, we acquired 20 additional acres in March, concentrating on soilenhancement and space design throughout the year. 2021Despite facing drought-like conditions, our farm overcame challenges to yield 14,217pounds of food and donated 6,000 pounds. The Indigenous Food Share (IFS), our CSAmodel, supported 88 members over 24 weeks, participating in key farmers marketsfor a total of 16 weeks. Nearly 40% of our produce, in collaboration with partners,was donated back to the Urban Native community. We processed over 400 poundsof food-grade seed into value-added products, including fruit leather, squash flour,dehydrated squash rings, hominy, corn flour, corn tea, and dry beans. Introducing afour-week Spring Share and Fall Share expanded access to affordable, fresh producebeyond the regular Indigenous Food Share program. To enhance biodiversity,insectary strips were implemented at the farm to support insect relatives andpollinators. 2022During the first year of the Seed Pod internship, Youth cultivated Indigenous seeds,resulting in a record-breaking harvest of 27,112 pounds11,000 pounds more thanthe previous season. We donated 11,323 pounds (41% of the total harvest) to thecommunity and distributed an additional 7,500 pounds through various partnerorganizations. No-till production was used on one-third of our growing space, withover 75% of crops being grown using these practices. We cultivated 60 differentcrops and 125 seed varieties, offering IFS members a diverse selection of 49vegetables, fruits, and herbs. Additionally, we cared for 400 bare root trees,transplanting them at the 20-acre Farm with the support of over 80 volunteers duringthree weeks in October. 9'
