Farming for the Future
The Farm at Loveland
At Loveland we are creating a micro-ecosystem rooted in sustainable and regenerative practices through agroecology, permaculture, and solar-powered growhouses. As a first-generation farmer, this work is both personal and purposeful - an investment in the future of food, community, and the land.
On our 3.85 acres, the majority of space is woodland and will be dedicated to growing food in ways that work with nature, not against it - building soil health, restoring biodiversity, and strengthening climate resilience. By maximizing the majority of our production through growhouses, we are able to grow year-round while modeling climate-smart farming practices that prove even a small property can have meaningful impact.
Through Fall 2025, we will be focused on setting up the foundation of the farm - establishing solar-powered growhouses, installing water and composting systems, and preparing the soil. By the time we enter January 2026, these spaces will already be planted and producing! Allowing us to provide fresh, nutrient-dense food for families even during the coldest months of the year. This first step ensures that Loveland Grove begins the new year not only growing, but already giving to the community.
Immediate Goal: Winter Harvests
Beginning in the fall of 2025, we will establish the foundation of Loveland Grove: purchasing Amish-built sheds to serve as solar-powered growhouses, setting up water catchment and composting systems, and planting crops inside before the year ends. Come January, everything will be in place and growing so that families facing food insecurity can receive fresh, nutrient-dense produce for free, even during the coldest months of the year.
Every step at Loveland Grove is designed to move us closer to a thriving, regenerative food system for our community - one where families receive fresh, healthy food without cost and the land is cared for in the process.
Cultivating Connection
Loveland Grove is not only about growing food - it’s about growing connection. Through volunteer days, harvest gatherings, and hands-on workshops, people will learn agroecology and permaculture in practice while taking part in work that directly provides families with free produce. By bringing people together around the soil, the seasons, and the harvest, we create a stronger community that shares both knowledge and nourishment.
Next Step: Feeding more People
As production expands into 2026, Loveland Grove will begin providing weekly shares and seasonal harvest boxes to more households in the community, always free of charge. This stage is about creating consistency so that families can count on fresh, nutrient-dense produce not just in summer, but throughout the entire year. With each added growhouse and crop cycle, we increase the number of families served and strengthen the reliability of what we can provide. Every step forward ensures that more neighbors have dependable access to food grown with care, at no cost, and rooted in sustainability. The goal in 2026 is literally to be feeding thousands of people.
The Heart of Loveland
Ultimately, the goal of Loveland Grove and the entire property is to honor the land through the most sustainable, environmentally conscious, and regenerative practices possible. This is not just a farm for today - it is a legacy project designed so that, long after I am gone, Loveland Grove will remain its own thriving world: a place where soil is alive, food is abundant, ecosystems flourish, and community continues to grow.
A Food Forest
In the years ahead, our woodland will gradually be transformed into a thriving food forest. Fruit trees, nut trees, berry bushes, perennial vegetables, and pollinator habitats will work together as one balanced system. This perennial landscape will regenerate the land, strengthen biodiversity, and ensure a continuous supply of free, fresh food for the community year after year.
How Your Support Helps
The Farm at Loveland Grove exists to provide real families in need and with no access, fresh, nutrient-dense produce at no cost -but creating this kind of community food system takes resources, infrastructure, and steady support. Every contribution helps us take one more step toward feeding more families while caring for the land.
By becoming a steward, you are directly investing in the mission of Loveland Grove. Your support helps us purchase and set up growhouses, restore soils, plant fruit trees, and expand harvests so that more families can receive dependable food throughout the year. From seeds to solar systems, every gift you make becomes part of the farm itself.
Sponsorship isn’t just a donation - it’s partnership. Together, we are showing what’s possible: that even a small farm can make a big difference in food security, climate resilience, and community connection. Whether you give monthly, annually, or through a specific project, your support makes the mission sustainable and lasting. With your help, Loveland Grove will not only feed families today but create a regenerative, self-sustaining food system that will continue to thrive for generations to come.
