Our public Candid profile
How we measure
Four simple counts, logged by the farm team rather than estimated. Here's exactly how each one is counted.
Meals served
Counted from what leaves each farm as fresh produce for backpacks, cafeterias, and pantry shelves.
Students reached
Tracked through the schools and programs that host a farm — every student who tends or learns from a grow system counts once per program year.
Farms operating
A simple, verifiable count: how many hydroponic classrooms are actively running across Southeast Kansas at a given time.
Pantry pounds
Weighed at harvest before produce goes to partner pantries. Totals come from the farm log, not an estimate.
See it for yourself
A gift keeps a hydroponic classroom running. Time gets you into a farm to watch the work happen.
