Go HERE

You need to run the farm sustainably for 5 years. That means you take good care of the farm, the community,
and the community's resources. Each year, you'll have a starting budget of $1000 to achieve these goals:
● Provide food for 200 households. Each household gets one “share” (a box) of our fresh food each week.
● Keep the soil healthy.
● Conserve as much water as possible.
You'll get up to 20 sustainability points each year based on how well you meet these goals.
