The Smart Farm is a grassroots, 501c3, Educational Permaculture Farm that provides 90% of what we grow to hunger relief organizations and for educational purposes. We started in a community garden 11 years ago and have grown each year. We currently maintain close to 11 acres . The Smart Farm has grown substantially over the last 3 years and will need additional equipment, infrastructure and Farm help. We are seeking a passionate individual that is willing to find and write grants to help fund our Sustainable, Eco-Friendly Learning Center. Our Farm is solely run by donations, grants and volunteers. If you are a good writer and want to make a difference....this is the job for you!
