Farmgirl Gives

Farmgirl Gives is an agricultural education initiative which seeks to train and equip the next generation of urban farmers in sustainable grow methods by providing agricultural education to local school and community garden groups. The food we produce on our farm's test gardens goes to those served by the North Texas Food Bank.

We provide agricultural education by giving lectures to local school and community groups, granting seed donations, and providing environmental education consulting and skills training to nonprofit community garden leaders and school educators. The food we produce on our farm's demonstration gardens goes to those served by the North Texas Food Bank.

More About Us

In 2014, Chief Executive Farmgirl and CEO, Vanessa Bailey, installed her first community garden as a response to witnessing too many barriers to fresh food in a food pantry setting during her tenure as a Social Worker.

After witnessing the transformative power of cultivating community to grow food for those in need, Farmgirl Gives was formed to further expand the ability to train and equip even more urban farmers to grow food for the marginalized and under-served of DFW. Farmgirl Gives provides hands on agricultural education to school classrooms, garden leaders and volunteers in addition to housing some of the most spoiled chicks you ever did see.

We believe that every patch of earth is an opportunity to grow! Thanks for helping us train and equip the next generation of urban farmers so that together we can grow farm fresh food for those in need!
