By growing food for the chimpanzees right here on our own property, we will reduce our carbon footprint caused by transporting food from out of the local area. We will reduce our food costs, allowing us to use private donations in other areas. And we will be able to ensure we are not damaging the native wildlife that surrounds us by using only organic and natural pest deterrents.
Most important, we’ll be providing the chimps with a healthy and varied diet!
Our efforts to participate in the growing movements for food sustainability will be accomplished through our Project Harvest Committee; a group of passionate volunteers and funders who have already contributed their knowledge and early support to create the foundation of this farm area. While it is only on paper today, we hope to spend this summer grading and plotting with the goal to be planting by this fall.
We are well on our way to a sustainable food program!
If you are interested in supporting Project Harvest join our volunteer program or select a garden supply from our Amazon Wish List!
With warmest regards,
Ali Crumpacker
Executive Director
