All people have a right to healthy, delicious produce. For those of our neighbors who have been historically excluded from enjoying the bounty of local farms, we founded The First Harvest Pantry at Lyall Community Church here in Millbrook in 2015.
Every week throughout the growing season, we donate a portion of the freshly harvested produce we grow, along with a selection of prepared foods made with our produce. Prepared foods are additionally donated to the Community Fridge at the Millbrook Library. At the same time, we make weekly produce donations to our local chapter of Meals on Wheels.
During the 2024 growing season, we served 2,700 food insecure neighbors through the Food Pantry, Meals on Wheels, and our Dover Seniors Fresh Produce Program.
