Nutritional Wellness for All
At Brick Street Farms, we're not just about growing greens; we're about cultivating communities. Through our non-profit arm, Desert Farms Foundation, we extend our commitment to sustainability and social responsibility beyond our hydroponic shipping container farms.
What is a Food Desert?
Food Deserts are defined as an urban area in which it is difficult to buy affordable or good-quality fresh food. The individuals living within these food deserts simply do not have access to a grocery store or other means to purchase nutritional food.
How We Help.
Desert Farms Foundation is dedicated to addressing food insecurity by providing fresh, nutrient-rich leafy greens to communities in need. We believe in the power of locally grown produce to nourish and uplift individuals and families, particularly those facing economic hardship.
Our triple bottom line approach guides every aspect of our work, ensuring that our efforts benefit people, the planet, and prosperity. By repurposing shipping containers into high-tech farms, we minimize environmental impact and maximize resource efficiency.
Through partnerships with other non-profits serving low-income and houseless individuals, we ensure that our greens reach those who need them most. In 2023 alone, we donated almost 9k pounds of leafy greens to our non-profit partners. That's about 100 servings of greens a day.
