Hunger Task Force Inc.

Hunger Task Force created The Farm for the express purpose of growing healthy food to ensure fresh produce access for the poor. Established in 2012, The Farm grows hundreds of thousands of pounds of fresh fruits and vegetables each growing season for low-income seniors, families and children throughout Milwaukee County on 80 acres of the 208-acre property. The Farm also provides a robust nutrition education program for low-income youth, manages natural areas restoration efforts throughout the property, maintains a functional fish hatchery for Milwaukee County, and manages multiple honeybee hives to provide both pollination and visitor education. A valuable community asset, The Farm is designated as protected Milwaukee County park land—to remain free from development—through the terms of a generous 30-year lease agreement with Milwaukee County.
