FIGHTING HUNGER
FROM THE GROUND UP
Twin Chickens Giving Farm grows fresh produce and eggs and donates everything to local food pantries.
WHY WE GROW
We believe everyone deserves fresh food.
It shouldn’t depend on where you live or how much money you have.
We’re part of this community. We go to school here. We ride our bikes on the same streets and shop at the same stores. So when we realized some families nearby didn’t have access to fresh produce, it didn’t feel like someone else’s problem.
We have the space to grow and we know how to start vegetables from seed.
So instead of just noticing, we started planting.

Fresh Eggs
We focus on greens because they grow quickly, are highly nutritious, are often limited at food pantries, and can be used in everyday meals. We also donate eggs from our hens. At a time when egg prices are high, fresh eggs can make a real difference for families trying to stretch their grocery budgets.

What we’ve learned
Consistency Matters
The pantry counts on us. That means planting on time, harvesting on time, and showing up even when it’s inconvenient.
Weather changes everything
A week or two of rain can undo all our planning. Farming forces you to be patient whether you want to be or not.
Small things add up
A single egg or bag of greens doesn’t seem like much. But six cartons or 10-20 bags every week does.
