6500 lbs! Thank you to all our volunteers for another great harvest yesterday of carrots and potatoes. Pictured below are some action pics from start of day to delivery at Feed Nourrir NB

After we get past this weather, we will look to schedule some days in advance and make them challenges. Can we get 15,000 or 20,000lbs in one day? Many hands can. Let us know if you'd like to volunteer and feed some people at the same time! For more information contact us at [email protected]

We just crossed the 1st 10,000 lbs of food produced for the year!

Along with the meat chicken and green beans, today we delivered 3300lbs of our first day of carrot harvest. Our friends at Feed Nourrir NB will distribute this across the province to food banks, kitchens and other missions. Now 290,000 lbs to go if we can reach our goal.

If you are still reading this, we need volunteers this year, especially with the crops being heavy. If you can, contact us at [email protected]. Tomorrow, Thursday is another big day and the more help we can get, the faster we can harvest.

Lastly, and most importantly, thank you to those who have been financially blessing us. We are still short but folks like you are making a big difference.

We are moving into corn, early potatoes and early carrots starting in the next two weeks! We'll need help with processing and bagging, especially with carrots as we still need to gather these from the ground once the harvester moves over. We are still tracking towards our goal of 300,000lbs of produce this year, all of which will go into Feed Nourrir NB's vital food security system. Keep an eye here for more information to follow!

A big thank you to all the volunteers who came out in the past week! We have now completed our green bean crop for the year. While the yield was hampered by the June weather, the quality of the beans was very high. This is thanks to the volunteers who came out and worked the cleaning line ensuring the highest quality made product made it to Feed Nourrir NB!

Next we will be harvesting sweet corn and early potatoes in the next few weeks!

We still need help: your financial contributions and prayers make a real difference. To learn more or to help you can go to our website at https://5000farms.ca/ or go directly to

Thank you Inspire.FM for your continued support! We are making some progress and God is Good.

“Give them something to eat." — Mark 6:37

When Jesus looked at the hungry crowd, He didn't turn them away, he called His disciples to step up and feed them. That is the heart behind 5000 Farms.

Since 2015, the team at 5000 Farms have been serving New Brunswick by growing fresh, nutritious food and giving it away to local food banks and missions. This year, God has blessed them with a potential record harvest of over 300,000 lbs of food!

But they are facing a critical gap.

Rising costs mean they are falling short of their operational needs which leaves a risk of crops being left unharvested.

We are living in challenging times, but it is also the greatest time to be salt and light. 5000 Farms is doing the hands and feet work of the Gospel, but they need the body of Christ to support them today.

Become a monthly donor: Even $10 or $20 a month creates sustainable support!

Every dollar counts. Every prayer matters. Every share helps.

We have started green beans and have taken off over 2000lbs. This year the challenge is short beans, but the quality is very good. We will be harvesting on Tuesday and Wednesday if anyone is interested to volunteer!

Your financial contributions and prayers make a real difference. And a big thank you for those who have helped us recently with our shortfall. To learn more or to help you can go to our website at https://5000farms.ca/ or go directly to

Green Bean harvest will likely begin next week! Despite challenges with our June weather and July heat resulting in shorter plants, there will be beans! Today's rain is a major blessing, and we are still tracking to our largest harvest yet.

For all those who have asked to volunteer, we'll be sending out an email this weekend hopefully pinpointing our dates. Green bean harvest is mechanized, but there is post-processing on the line we need help with. Thank you for everyone's ongoing help!

We need your help! So far 5000 Farms is anticipating the largest harvest since beginning in 2015. With the worsening food security crisis in Atlantic Canada, we know we can make an impact with over 300,000 lbs of produce and protein. Our mission is to feed people who are depending on our food banks and kitchens and show the love of Christ in everything we do. However, 5000 Farms is running critically short of its' operating budget.

Faith is the currency of heaven and we're not pleasing to God or of much good here without it; So, we know He will provide us with the resources we need. Can you help with spreading the word of our mission and helping us through this season? We operate with very low overheads, and one cost to this is we don't have the best marketing or awareness out there. Aside from one full-time farm manager we can't live without, (the rest of us are volunteers), every dollar we raise goes directly into the fields and food we raise. And that takes diesel, fertilizers, equipment and parts, supplies and many other costs all farms incur. We don't compete with our vital farmers in this region either. We exist for one reason, and that is to donate 100% of our crops into the food security network: the food banks, kitchens and missions that increasingly so many people of all walks of life are relying on. Thank you!
