We are truly humbled and honored to be recognized by New Growth Project as this year's Friend of the Farm award recipient.
New Growth Project's mission — providing meaningful employment to adults with disabilities by growing nutritious food for the community — is one that resonates deeply with our team in Rockford. At IPM, we believe in a never-ending desire to serve and support others, and partnering with New Growth Project through volunteering, their farmers markets, and donations is exactly the kind of work that brings that value to life.
This recognition belongs to every member of the IPM team who has shown up for the farm and the incredible people behind it. Thank you, New Growth Project, for the meaningful work you do every day — and for giving us the opportunity to partner in making Rockford an inclusive and vibrant community.
