Be a part of the solution! We are looking for volunteers who don't mind getting their hands dirty.

Growing Hope Farm is a production farm in Palm City that produces 1,600 units per week from the aeroponic greenhouse and beds. The focus of Growing Hope Farm is to increase community awareness of the health benefits of good nutrition while helping to reduce Martin County’s high rate of diabetes, childhood and adult obesity, and other chronic illnesses.

Volunteers help with various tasks from harvesting, pruning, replanting, cleaning towers, and mowing to weed whacking and much more!

About House of Hope:

House of Hope's mission is to empower Martin County residents to overcome hunger and hardship. Our services are designed to empower people in need and afford them the greatest opportunity for health, financial stability, and life success. Our programs include Client Choice Food Pantries, clothes closets, financial assistance, and long-term case management. We also have several nutrition gardens which teach healthy eating habits and provide our pantries with fresh produce. We recently completed the new Packing House facility on-site, which allows the farm harvest to be washed, weighed, and packaged quicker.

We have locations in Stuart, Hobe Sound, Jensen Beach, and Indiantown.
