The Fruitful Field

Our Mission

Our mission is to grow and distribute nutrient-dense produce to food-insecure individuals, foster connection through nature, and empower communities through education.

“In nature, nothing is perfect and everything is perfect.”
– Alice Walker

The Board of Directors, management, and staff of The Fruitful Field are saddened to share the news of the passing of our former Board Member, Steve Werthman.

Steve was a dedicated advocate for our mission and a driving force behind many of the initiatives that strengthened our food‑security work. His leadership, especially in developing the grounding path, reflected his deep belief in community, access, and connection.

We are grateful for Steve’s service, his generosity, and the legacy he leaves behind. His spirit will continue to guide and inspire The Fruitful Field.

What We Do

The Fruitful Field (TFF) is a community-based organic garden established in 2008. We utilize Regenerative Organic Agricultural methods to produce fruits and vegetables in the most sustainable way. We feel that access to food is a human right and know that our current food system has created an imbalance aimed towards the low-income and homeless community. Our goal is simple: Grow nutritionally dense-sustainable produce and give that food to people who need it most.
