Community Support
EAFC continues to be humbled by support and generosity from our community! With assistance from local government, organizations and generous individuals, abundance has emerged and we're overjoyed at the opportunity to expand our ability to bless our community!

The Emergent Abundance Farming Collective (EAFC) was borne out of the immense and immediate need for fresh, healthy produce during the 2020 pandemic. Julia Smagorinsky spearheaded the coordination and growth of passionate volunteers to directly address the local challenges of food insecurity, as well as the heightened need for locally-sourced produce. EAFC began on a one-acre plot at a private farm in the Kennett area, which resulted in over 1,000 pounds of produce donated to local relief groups!
However, the need for ethically-farmed and sustainably-grown food has no end in sight, especially now in times of economic uncertainty and ill health. What began as weekly donations to the Kennett Food Cupboard has developed into a blooming partnership with Kennett Area Community Services (KACS). EAFC is beyond excited to expand our community as well as our vegetable production thanks to recent approval to expand on an additional acre of farmland owned by Kennett Township!
Abundance is Emerging, and we are so humbled by all the generosity!
