Gratitude Grows Here

Because small farms can make a big difference when they grow with purpose.

Gratitude Grows Here comes from a simple truth we hold close: our orchard doesn’t stand on its own. It exists because of the people who support us — friends who stop by our farmers market stands, families who have shared in generations of growing seasons through our CSA, and small businesses that rely on our fruit as a core ingredient on their menus.

We’re deeply grateful for that support, and we try to return it in the ways we know best — by sharing fruit and showing up for our neighbors so we can all thrive together.

Through donations, partnerships, and direct response during moments like the loss of SNAP funding in November 2025, we work to turn good fruit into something more: nourishment, connection, and care. Each box, each apple, each small act of generosity is part of building a stronger, more resilient food system — one rooted in abundance, shaped by community, and guided by the belief that everyone deserves access to fresh, healthy food.

The Giving Box

We put together something we’re calling The Giving Box — 20 pounds of apples for $45 that you can purchase to donate.
These Giving Boxes will be donated alongside our regular donations of fruit to a number of community partners.

Please note: When purchasing a Giving Box, you will need to set the delivery address to our warehouse address to avoid shipping charges.
This information is listed under the product description.

Community Donations

We often donate fruit to organizations. If your organization would like a donation, please reach out and inquire.

Farmer’s Markets

Most Farmers Markets are partnered with community organizations who glean fruit/produce at the end of each market day. We regularly make donations to the respective gleaning partners after each market.

SNAP Funding Response



When it was announced that SNAP funding would not be issued for folks around the country this past November, we came together to support our neighbors in need. Thank you to everyone who bought a Giving Box. By matching your purchase, pound-for-pound, we were able donate over 10,000 lbs. of fruit to over 80 organizations to help keep our neighbors fed.
