The Farm to Heart Initiative

Cultivating a local and healthy food system through collaborative care.

We're co-creating a food system that nourishes, reduces waste, and builds a thriving community.

Nourishment

We partner with farmers and local networks to make regionally grown, organic food available for families experiencing hunger. 

Personal Connection

We host spaces where nourishment and wellbeing can take root by bringing together farmers and communities.

Empowered Choice

We connect people with the tools to shape their food systems through choices and a seat at the decision making table.

Fair Access

We build resilient community partnerships by creating a fair food system that pays farmers sustainably.

WELCOME TO FARM TO HEART

Farm to Heart is a transformational food sovereignty model committed to connecting organic food from local farmers with families experiencing hunger.

Building an Equitable and Sustainable Local Food System

Nourishment is a fundamental right, not a privilege.

  • There are roughly 50 million Americans experiencing food insecurity¹.

  • 96% percent of US farmers need off farm employment to pay their bills².

  • 20% of people living in Clark Country had to access an emergency food network in 2021³.

We all deserve to be part of a healthy and local food system. 

The more we reconnect with, nurture, and reclaim our local food systems, the closer we can get to designing something that actually works for people and our planet. 

We are tired of being told that it's “too expensive” to fix this system.  

We believe change is possible right now— not someday. But we need help to do this work. 

We're passionate stewards co-creating a transformational food ecosystem, but farming is our divine calling—not fundraising. 

You're a compassionate and committed changemaker who wants to see your contributions go directly to making change—without lining corporate pockets. 

We work together with our amazing community to build from within.

Whether it's collaborating with local schools, local government, or other partners, we use resources that already exist within our community and within us to make real and sustainable change. 

Together, we can build a new food system that works for people, the land, plants, and animals, one carrot at a time.

Welcome to food sovereignty in action. 

When you support us, we can continue to provide organic farm foods to families at no cost while growing financially equitable opportunities for farmers and reducing food waste.

    -F2H Volunteer

  • "Two years ago April Joy Farm started purchasing fruit from our organic farm. This has been great for our farm stability. Now organic produce is available to families in need and I am able to maintain my employees with steady hours of work, which results in more predictable income for their families."
