Description: Sola Gratia Farm is a community-based farm dedicated to producing locally-grown, high-quality, natural produce. Responding to the Gospel, the farm is committed to helping those who lack adequate food resources by donating a minimum of ten percent of its produce to support regional hunger programs. The farm promotes healthy lifestyles and community building through volunteering and service, special events and outreach and education programs. Sola Gratia Farm employs organic production methods that focus on growing an abundance of nutritious, and delicious fruits and vegetables, while enhancing soil structure and biology, and helping to build a community that values high-quality, locally grown food. Members can join the CSA (community supported agriculture) program and receive 4-28 weeks of local and naturally grown vegetables while helping to contribute to community hunger assistance. Shares may also be purchased for direct donation to the Eastern Illinois Foodbank.
