ISHPEMING — This Giving Tuesday, Partridge Creek Farm is calling on the community to help strengthen the foundation of their mission: increasing food access for all. PCF aims to raise $5,000 to upgrade the FREE Community Grazing Beds at the Ishpeming Middle School Garden, located in downtown Ishpeming. These beds provide free, fresh produce to anyone in need, supporting families across the community.

Donations will support the replacement of the rotting beds and relocate them to the outer edges of the site to increase accessibility, enabling Partridge Creek Farm to feed even more families each growing season. Looking ahead to 2026, the organization also plans to expand grazing bed signage to reach more community members and further enhance local food access.

“Supporting food access and providing resources to our community has never been more important. These grazing beds play a vital role in offering free, fresh produce to those who need it most,” said Mary Antonia Andronis, Executive Director of Partridge Creek Farm. Community members can support the campaign by donating online at partridgecreekfarm.org/donate. Every contribution helps build a healthier, more food-secure community.
