We cultivated 5.5 acres of organic annual vegetables for sales and distribution at our market stand on-site, to wholesale customers, at a farmer's market, to local restaurants and entrepreneurs and for donations to program participants, neighbors and our community food shelf. This food reached hundreds of community members. We also grew vegetables in the hoop house. We harvested from thousands of perennial plants in a permaculture design that will bear fruit for decades to come, including: asparagus, aronia berries, honey berries, and plum, apple, pear, and cherry trees. We maintained our water management system with a number of environmental benefits, including reducing stormwater run-off, preventing soil erosion and limiting our use of municipal water. Farm production serves as an education and community building tool. We had approximately 513 people contribute over 3,100 hours of volunteers labor and education on-site. We grew over 60 different crops and grew over 16,000 pounds of organic produce in this fourth season of farm production. 42431 0 44415 Community Outreach & Education: Frogtown Farm is a community-based organization founded by four community residents. Community engagement is critical to our decision-marking, design, programming and food production. In 2019, we worked with community members and partners to cultivate relationships, build partnership and do neighborhood outreach through canvassing, attending events, hosting events. We are also working with several key community partners to develop a long-term plan to build a stronger and sovereign community food system. We hosted four monthly community events that brought together community members, community resources, free giveaways, artists, music and more. Four community events drew over 2,000 people. We also hosted tours, school groups and workshops. Through this outreach, thousands of people across generations and cultures had the opportunity to visit Frogtown Farm and learn more about Urban agriculture. We had 513 volunteers working on the farm, doing everything from seeding, weeding, watering to social media posting and filing. Overall, through the produce distribution, farm visits, community events community programming and outreach, Frogtown Farm estimates that we reached over 15,00 people in 2019. 14909 0 5000 Frogtown Farm Workshare Program: The Frogtown Farm workshare program is an education and community engagement component of our urban farm. The workshare program enables Frogtown and Rondo residents to work on the farm for at least two hours each week for ten weeks during the growing season. Participants received fresh produce from the farm each week in exchange for their time working on the farm, and the exchange equated to $15/hr of produce that community members in the program received for free. The workshare program uses a skill share approach to knowledge building for everything from planting, weeding, maintaining and harvesting produce grown at the farm. 0 0 0 176931 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 3 0 9 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 8 8 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 MN X X Maicher CPA Pllc 6128391483 2469 University Ave W Suite 220W Saint Paul MN 55114 Dave Collins Executive Director 40 X 15349 0 0 Jay Bell Director 1 X 0 0 0 Seitu Jones Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Norma Roberts-Hakizimana Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Paul Vliem Director 1 0 X 0 0 0 Soyini Guyton Chair 2 0 X 0 0 0 Kristen Kidder Treasurer 1 0 X 0 0 0 Ryan Ellis Secretary 1 0 X 0 0 0 15349 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 306540 0 306540 2260 2260 0 0 2260 188 188 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 7455 7455 0 0 7455 316443 9903 0 0 13799 10349 3450 140123 97291 42832 15607 11373 4234 18654 11474 7180 10277 10277 26873 6340 20333 200 1320 190 1130 23370 19333 3060 977 3504 277 3227 9799 1451 8348 1637 1549 88 1242 917 325 244 244 19665 18621 1044 8668 1312 7356 Farm Supplies 9241 6803 2398 40 304023 176931 122425 4667 31031 105133 141339 105219 15097 4010 1628 1766 273623 74215 219072 199408 350 350 408517 415886 13177 15026 6900 0 20077 15026 X 266470 282268 121970 118592 388440 400860 408517 415886 12420 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 447628 138074 357300 159536 245039 1347577 447628 138074 357300 159536 245039 1347577 271999 1075578 295 327 266 234 188 1310 1348887 68566 0.79738 0.4753 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 0 46772 8662 38110 0 207161 55112 152049 0 19690 10441 9249 0 0 0 0 199408 Form 990, Part VI, Section B, Line 11b The 990 and all schedules are provided to the Board Chair for review and approval.
