“Coming together as friends under the stars for Harvest Dinner was the perfect jolt of hope and magic.

A fabulous evening with incredible live music, food, wine and great company all in support this incredible Raleigh treasure.

One of my friends even claimed ‘it was the best night of her life’ and I can’t argue with that! Thank you, for all you bring to our community.” — Beth

Your contribution has impact:

Keeping Raleigh City Farm Growing

Harvest Dinner is our largest and most important fundraiser! Event proceeds account for nearly 20% of our annual operating budget and are critical for fertilizing the growth and sustainability of our one-acre, nonprofit urban farm.

Feeding Our Community

Our Pay-What-You Can Farmstand and Farmshare programs provide affordable and accessible food to our community. This year, we’ll harvest more than 10,000 lbs. of food and share at least 50% with our nonprofit partners addressing food insecurity and access.

The Next Generation of Farmers

Our vision is a healthy community supporting the next generation of farmers. By investing in Raleigh City Farm, you’re championing the importance of growing accessible and affordable local food and training new farmers.
