Equipment Donations Sought for Non-Profit Farm near Spokane, Wa.

People for Environmental Action and Community Health (p.e.a.c.h.), based in Spokane, Wa, is launching a new food system model in Spokane County, Washington State. We are creating a network of non-profit Community Farms and Gardens in the Spokane region. A major goal for p.e.a.c.h. is to use this non-profit agricultural network to produce nutritious, fresh, organic produce and make it available at below market cost to the region's low-income population.

p.e.a.c.h. has secured a 30-acre farm that will serve as the anchor for our Community Farms & Gardens network and as the home of the p.e.a.c.h.  Farm Camp and the p.e.a.c.h. Farm School. Our intention is to convert our new home into a multi-use facility including intensive, no-till organic vegetable production, pastured poultry, a goat dairy, a commercial kitchen, student housing and classroom space.

As we gear up for our inaugural growing season at our new base farm, the p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm at Pine Meadow near Cheney, Wa, we would be forever grateful to anyone who could donate any of the following items:

bullet Allis-Chalmers "G" Cultivating Tractor (for conversion into a solar-electric tractor)
bulletBaler (small bales)
bulletCertified Organic Seeds of Any Kind
bullet Chipper/Shredder
bulletFencing for Livestock (goats and chickens, portable or fixed)
bulletGrain Drill
bulletHand Tools

bulletIrrigation Supplies
bulletLumber
bulletSheet Metal Roofing-Siding
bulletSpring Toothed Harrow
bulletSwather
bullet Uncontaminated Manure
bulletWater Tank (1500 gal. minimum, never used for chemicals)
bulletWorking Manure Spreader

All donations are tax-deductible.

You may also assist us financially in making this vision a reality by becoming a Friend of the p.e.a.c.h. Community Farm. Your support keeps us going.

With Gratitude,

The p.e.a.c.h. Community Farms and Gardens Team
