"For I was hungry and you gave me something to
eat....
I tell you the truth whatever you did for one of the
least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."
- Matthew 25:35, 40.
Our Mission statement:
"Uniting the Christian community in order to demonstrate
God's love through offering the first fruits of the harvest to
those in need. First Fruits Farm is a non-profit corporation
founded as a ministry to provide fresh produce, honey, eggs and beef
for various shelters, soup kitchens and food banks."
First
Fruits Farm, Inc. is a 501(c)(3) Christian ministry dedicated to feeding the hungry with nutritious, fresh-picked fruits and vegetables. We are also a mission that welcomes all brothers and sisters to experience fellowship, the beauty of God's creation, and the
power of the gospel to change lives.
The farm has over 100 acres of farm land is dedicated to growing fresh fruits and vegetables
to feed the hungry. Refrigerated trucks from the
Mid-Atlantic Gleaning Network and the Maryland Food Bank help to transport the harvest to
soup kitchens, food banks and shelters in the
Baltimore/Washington region. We also deliver directly to a
variety of food banks, shelters and missions. Since 2004, over 3.1
million pounds of
fresh produce were provided to the hungry of our community.
