Thank You Whole Foods Harbor East!!




We are so excited to announce that we received $3,545 from the Whole Foods Harbor East 5% day this past Wednesday. Thank you to everyone that come out to support Boone Street during the event.

This spring we will be using the funds raised to rebuild our tool shed, put in a water line at the farm, build a washing station and purchase basic tools. This basic infrastructure will help to make the farm operate more efficiently and develop into a sustainable business.

Boone Street Farm is fund raising to complete a project that will secure water access for the community garden and farm as well as to support our garden club program with Cecil Elementary School.  The garden club builds students environmental leaders in the neighborhood who grow vegetables, herbs, fruit and make healthy snacks.  It has been a great experience to work with the students at Cecil Elementary School at the community garden in East Baltimore Midway and we thank you all for your amazing support to keep this project running!

Thank You for a Successful Fundraiser



Thank you for a Successful Fundraiser Dinner


We want to extend a HUGE thank you to everyone who helped make our First Growing up Green Fundraiser dinner a great Success. 

We had so much fun celebrating the end of garden club's season over a delicious farm feast prepared by local chefs featuring Boone Street Farm Produce. It is always great to hear about what the students have learned in garden club, see their recycled art work and watch them sing and dance to songs that praise healthy eating. We got a sneak peak of a music video featuring our garden club students. Stay tuned for the full video soon!

We could not have made it through the night without the help of many generous donations and our amazing volunteer staff. Thank you to these people for their contributions:
