Simsbury Garden Club presents "The Past, Present and Future of The Community Farm of Simsbury"

Gifts of Love and the Community Farm of Simsbury have been working collaboratively for the past several years.  This partnership included hiring an organic farmer to teach at the Farm summer school, assist in the camp program, and grow fresh fruits and vegetables for Gifts of Love's Food Pantry. In addition, Gifts of Love volunteers and volunteens assist in the picking and storing of fruits and vegetables harvested at the Farm at their one acre teaching garden. 
With the merge  finalized in October 2013, the Community Farm of Simsbury has become a program under Gifts of Love led by Executive Director Diana Goode and the Boards of the two organizations, which have already merged.  Ultimately, the merge will result in more resources for the Farm, including staff and volunteers, more organically grown fruits and vegetables for the Gifts of Love Food Pantry, and the opportunity to expand the educational programming offered at the Farm to educate youth and adults about organic farming and the process associated with growing fresh fruits and vegetables.
