Frogtown Gardens

In 2024, Frogtown Farm hosted 40 events, including workshops, farm tours, and community gatherings. Notable events included the Juneteenth celebration, which drew approximately 125 participants. We also collaborated with St. Paul Public Schools Office of Early Learning through the THRIVE (Together Helping to Reach Incredible Victories through Education and Encouragement) program. This initiative introduced preschoolers and their parents to Frogtown Farm, with activities focused on planting vegetables, outdoor cooking, and nature exploration. Additionally, we partnered with the City of St. Paul s REC Check and Right Track youth employment programs, offering job training and skill-building opportunities. Our team provided tours for a variety of organizations, school groups, and funders, highlighting our commitment to education and community engagement.

Frogtown Farm served as a vibrant venue for arts and cultural activities in 2024. Events included foraging workshops, films on the farm, healing drum sessions, and community planting days. Our outdoor kitchen hosted pizza parties, utilizing produce and herbs grown on the farm. We engaged the community through educational workshops that focused on farming practices and sustainability. The farm continued to attract bird-watchers, walkers, and anyone seeking a green space to enjoy, contributing to its status as a community hub for both cultural and natural appreciation.
