Farming 4 Hunger

Who says hard work can’t be fun!? Some Calvert Hip Mamas helped harvest about 4,000 pounds of  potatoes for Farming 4 Hunger on a beautiful morning on August 31, 2013. We started the day sorting through some potatoes that was to be delivered to local food pantries then worked the fields! The kids got to watch a tractor dig up the potatoes before we collected thousands of potatoes for needy families. After working in the field, we went back to the harvest house to sort and package up the potatoes we collected so they can be delivered to local food pantries. As a reward for all our hard work, we got to visit the petting zoo for free! Serenity Farms, Inc is the headquarters for an organization called Farming 4 Hunger. Farming 4 Hunger is a non-profit organization that grows food to assist local families in need in Southern Maryland and the surrounding region. In 2012, Farming 4 Hunger provided food pantries and food banks with more than 400,000 pounds of fresh produce.
