Dedicated to combating hunger and improving health outcomes in Martin County, House of Hope is excited to invite you to explore our facilities and learn more about our mission.

At House of Hope, we are committed to providing nutritious foods to individuals and families in Martin County. Our farm not only addresses food insecurity but also plays a vital role in reducing rates of diabetes and obesity in our community. Through our food pantries and food partners, we distribute fresh produce to those in need, easing the pain of hunger and promoting better health outcomes.
Currently, Growing Hope Farm operates 92,000 cubic feet of growing space across three greenhouses, raised garden beds, and a fruit tree grove. With two harvest days each week, we anticipate producing over 8,000 packages of produce monthly at full capacity. These harvests not only provide fresh fruits and vegetables but also offer opportunities for clients to gain agricultural job skills and local employment through House of Hope’s workforce development program.
We are thrilled to introduce our newest addition: The Packing House. This facility will revolutionize our harvesting, washing, packaging, and distribution processes, ensuring efficiency and quality at every step. Equipped with state-of-the-art technology and food-grade standards, the Packing House will enhance our ability to serve the community while also supporting local for-profit farms. Through barter or financial donations to House of Hope, local farmers can utilize our facilities, fostering commercial networking and reducing costs associated with getting products to market.
Join us for a special day to celebrate innovation, collaboration, and making a positive impact in Martin County through the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the Packing House and the open house of the Growing Hope Farm. We look forward to seeing you there!
Together, we are Growing Hope for a brighter future.
