Our fundraising campaign has officially launched!
Thanks to the overwhelming support of our community and the approving votes by both the Royal Oak School Board and the Royal Oak Zoning Board, we are off and running with the Royal Oak Community Farm. As with any new venture, we have a great deal of start-up costs that need to be covered to get us off the ground. Our goal is to raise $20,000 through individual donations and with the proceeds from the Lettuce Rock! fundraising event held at the Farmers’ Market on April 17th. The money raised through these donations will be used for expenses such as an irrigation system, start-up fees and permits, the initial compost, a gravel parking lot, a portable shed, screening shrubbery and a marquis sign.
So, we ask you for your donations (turn all of those tomatoes red!) To thank you for your financial support, you will receive a $5-off coupon for every $25 donated to be redeemed at our Farmers Market counter this summer. We look forward to showing you all that we have to offer.
Donations can either be made though Paypal or by sending a check to Royal Oak Forward, 4000 Crooks Rd, Suite -100D, Royal Oak, MI 48073.
Thank you in advance for your generosity.
100% of the farm profit will benefit the Royal Oak Foundation for Public Education.
