NRCS Conservation Programs Help KC Farmers Gain Climate Resilience
What a great Earth Day Day of Service and Happy Hour we had on Friday, April 21st!
Farmers Paul and Emily send out a huge THANK YOU to everyone for showing up and working so hard. Our Earth Day event helps us get ready for the season at Westport Commons Farm, where we host educational tours and corporate volunteer events, sell food weekly through Kansas City Food Hub and our on-site farmstand, and donate produce to partners in our community.
Here’s a short list of things we were able to accomplish at the farm on Friday thanks to you:
We had folks from Henderson Engineers, Accenture, The North Face, Ligand Pharmaceuticals, Terracon, UMKC, Cargill, Harvesters, Merrill Lynch, and Bank of America, as well as plenty of hardworking individuals. We appreciate your time and your support of the work at Cultivate KC.
MANY THANKS to Torn Label Brewing for providing beer for the happy hour and Tamaleon KC for bringing their incredible food truck yet again. Thanks, 2 Birds Farm, for the gorgeous transplants to sell too!
Enjoy the gallery of photos from the event. You ALL make our work possible!
