St. Johns Lutheran Mission Farm
What We Do:
We grow fresh fruits and vegetables for distribution through the CANV Food Bank to help families struggling to put nutritious meals on their tables. While there has always been a need for this in Napa county, it became especially critical during the COVID-19 crisis and continues through the recovery.
We farm three acres of land adjacent to the church. We have 70 fruit trees and room for both summer and cool-weather row crops. This past year, we expanded our efforts and turned over 21,000 lbs. of fresh produce to the Food Bank for distribution to families in need. In addition, we worked with school and youth organizations to acquaint young people with the miracle of seedtime and harvest. We are an all-volunteer organization which means that all your donations go directly to producing food for people’s tables.
