About Us
Grow. Healthy. Together.
Since its founding in 2018, Phoenix Community Farm has donated hundreds of thousands of pounds of fresh produce to neighbors in need - distributed through Hidden Harvests, United Way of Midland County's ReGrow Together, and two Pay What You Can stands right here in Midland — healthy food, grown locally, reaching the people who need it most.
But PCF is not just about pounds.
Across more than 50 crop varieties, the farm has become a living classroom. At Windover High School, students grow, harvest, and cook through the Agriscience and Culinary Arts Programs - leaving with more than recipes. They leave understanding where food comes from, why it matters, and how it connects to the health of the land and the community around them. That knowledge goes home with them and reaches their families.
Community members, program participants, volunteers, and school field trip participants experience, taste, and learn on the farm year-round.
Every seed planted here sprouts into something larger. And the harvest keeps growing.
