Mission and programs · 2024

• Farm Park - an educational facility, operated as a public space open to all, demonstrating neighborhood and community scale sustainable food, garden and livestock systems managed in an integrated way. More than 55,000 pounds of produce were produced this year.

  Expenses $294,085 · Revenue $220,815

• Visiting groups join us year round, with 1,075 participants total. We welcomed 934 participants from 22 classes, two homeschool groups, 2 Sister Cities groups (from Argentina and France), and groups from Aspen Camp for the Deaf, Solstice Wellness Retreat, and New Mexico School for the Deaf at the FarmPark. Due to the construction of our Farm Center, we were able to accommodate fewer groups onsite this spring. Instead, our Education Director visited 141 students in their classrooms to complete a natural art project and discuss the importance of worms and composting with a worm bin.

• Summer Camp Programs. Research demonstrates that growing food is one of the most powerful ways to reconnect children to nature and to get people outside. The flagship summer program, Earth Keepers, saw capacity attendance in the reporting year with 330 participants for six hours/day, five days per week for 10 weeks. Programs were sold out 10 out of 10 weeks. We reached over 2,000 student days this summer.Farmer In Training: After piloting new tween/teen programs in 2023, we launched our new Farmer In Training (FIT) program (for ages 13-17) summer of 2024 to provide agricultural education and training. Through this program the participants learned to plant and harvest, learned to properly wash and pack the produce for the farmer's market, and learned how to set up and maintain an irrigation system. In addition to these skills, they have learned how to work on a team. The success of this program is evident in the skills and confidence gained by participants, setting them on a path towards success in agriculture and skills that will serve them in their future careers. Four participants were accepted as paid participants and two accepted on a volunteer exchange agreement.

Officers and directors · 2024

As listed in Part VII of the 2024 return, in the order the filer printed them. Each return names its own; this is not a roster the organization keeps with us.

Compensation is as filed in Part VII: reportable pay from this organization and from related organizations, other compensation, and hours per week. The total, marked calculated, is our sum of the three dollar columns, with a blank column counted as $0; the form itself has no total. On a Form 990-EZ the columns are Part IV's instead, and on a Form 990-PF Part VIII's — compensation, contributions to benefit plans, and expense account — and the total sums those. Earlier years are each on their own filing page.

Nonprofiteer parses Forms 990, 990-EZ and 990-PF, in a window of recent tax years. These returns are recorded from the IRS e-file index, so their figures were extracted by that index rather than read from the return here — treat them as a different source from the filings above, not as more of the same record. A dash means the index carries no figure; Form 990-T listings carry none at all. Showing the 10 most recent; the API carries the rest.
