What your support is growing.
We are new — our 501(c)(3) was certified in July 2026 — and we publish our numbers as we grow. We are committed to meaningful community engagement to create real impact on urban agriculture in Toledo and on access to locally grown food for all.

We Are Building A Self-Supporting Food System
In September 2026, Mobile Meals of Toledo made its first purchase from our farm network: 250 pounds of fresh tomatoes, grown in Toledo, delivered to homebound neighbors across the city. One purchase, two missions advanced — and the first of the anchor relationships that will let farms grow into committed demand instead of hoping for it.
Every farm we build is a business we launch.
A Cultivate Toledo farm is a micro-enterprise: built in 150 days, operated by a trained farmer, and earning income from its first harvest. Your gift funds the build — land preparation, hoop house, irrigation, beds. The farmer's own revenue carries it from there. Give once, or grow with us monthly.
