When times get tough, the St. John Valley always pulls together. ❤️

With the government shutdown, we know some families are seeing food stamp (SNAP) delays or cuts. If that’s you — please reach out to us. Message us privately.

Freckle Farm has potatoes and carrots set aside for anyone who needs a little help putting food on the table this week. No paperwork, no judgment — just community.

We’ve always believed that when one of us struggles, we all step up.

From the Valley, for the Valley. 🥕🥔
