A Silt nonprofit organization was recently able to raise big money within a little time frame to help support an upcoming project, according to an administrator.
Highwater Farm, a community farm space on the Silt River Preserve that encourages youth participation, has plans to launch a youth program for 2021 that will include teens and college students.
And, within a three-week crowdfunding campaign that began Dec. 1, the Silt non-profit has now raised $30,000.
“I am still blown away,” Highwater Farm Director Sara Tymczyszyn said of the community support. “I think this was encouraging for us at this time of year.”
In its first year, the farm and its volunteers used a half-acre plot to raise more than 8,000 pounds of fresh, quality vegetables. According to the farm, 4,000 pounds of that cumulative harvest were also distributed to the community using local hunger relief organizations.
