THINKlocal Hartford / Slinger - Fall 15' | Page 8

In 1946 a work farm was established in Franklin to feed inmates at the Milwaukee County House of Correction. In 2004, in partnership with Milwaukee County, Hunger Task Force took over Farm operations to grow and harvest produce exclusively for Milwaukee’s hungry. We revved up production, and soon over 350,000 pounds of fruits and vegetables were annually distributed to Hunger Task Force’s pantry network. Today, Hunger Task Force has full operational control of the Farm under a long-term lease with Milwaukee County. The Farm is home to 173 acres of farm land, 12 acres of orchards, 20 acres of tree nursery, and a unique Oak Savanna. Since 2012 when we signed our lease with the county we have managed to have volunteer based operation. TOWING • HAULING • VEHICLE RECOVERY • MOBILE STORAGE We have regular opportunities for volunteers to get their hands dirty and help Hunger Task Force provide a steady supply of fresh fruits and vegetables to Milwaukee’s hungry. Activities include preparing new plants in the greenhouse, planting and harvesting fresh produce, fish hatchery work, and more!
