Red Barn Academy is a multi-year life skill program for men who struggle with addiction, incarceration, and homelessness. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit. We do not receive any government funding of any kind. We are able to sustain our program through the hard work of our students and donations from the community. We currently have 73 men who are enrolled in our program. We all live on our campus in Farmington, Utah, and every dollar we can save is a dollar we use to help get the next man off the street or out of jail. We believe in building our students into the best versions of themselves through hard work, accountability, extreme ownership, honesty, and integrity. We are truly blessed to have this opportunity and we simply would not be able to do so without the support of our community. Please feel free to learn more at redbarnfarms.org. Also, we are always willing to give tours of our campus to spread the word about what we do and to show firsthand how our process truly works. If you would like to reach one of us here, you can call 801-893-2797. We are always in need of food, toiletries, hygiene, clothing, paper towels/napkins, laundry soap, and bleach. We would be grateful for any help you can give. Thank you for your time and consideration.
We can arrange to pick up the food and other items from your location if you would like. We do have box trucks with lift-gate capabilities.
ProducePedia
ProducePedia is a free resource that covers the types of fresh produce that can be delivered to food pantries. Each entry includes information on color, taste, and possible uses. People unfamiliar with the vegetable or fruit will learn how to use it, and those who are familiar with it still might learn a fun fact or two!
The Cooperative Extension sites have a wealth of information for any backyard gardener. Once you go to the site (each one if very different from the others) look for a link for “homes and gardens”, “landscape”, “consumer horticulture”, etc. to find information on improving your backyard garden. Neighboring state sites may offer information your own state’s site lacks.
