5 Loaves Farm Creating sustainable market gardens on Buffalo’s Upper West Side that produce healthy foods along with educational and economic opportunities.

For farmhouse rental inquiries, please email [email protected]. 5 Loaves Farm creates sustainable market gardens on Buffalo’s Upper West Side that produce healthy foods along with educational and economic opportunities for neighborhood residents. The lack of healthy foods in what have been called “urban food deserts” is well documented. Just as Jesus’ first followers looked at the hungry

masses and humbly offered five loaves of bread and two fish to feed them, we too respond with compassion by bringing our five city lots and two community gardens to feed the hungry. Our spiritual convictions, along with our neighborhood’s vacant land and eager youth, provide the fertile soil needed for this initiative to grow to meet the need.

5 Loaves Farm... ..plants gardens and creates green houses to grow healthy foods...is committed to making healthy foods available and affordable to our neighbors by offering a CSA and seeking to partner with local markets and school lunch programs...donates a portion of its produce to local soup kitchens...is committed to using sustainable growing practices...provides educational programs for adults and school groups..has internship opportunities available for neighborhood youth throughout the year.

🌱 Our Farm Stand opens THIS THURSDAY (July 10) from 4–6:30pm right out front of the farmhouse at 70 W. Delavan Ave! We’ll be there every Thursday through the growing season.

🥬 Everything we grow is beyond organic—no sprays, no chemicals, just food harvested the day of or day before using practices that nourish the soil, support biodiversity, and truly feed your body.

🧑‍🌾 When you shop with us, you're joining a movement to know your farmer and resist an exploitative food system. This is small-scale, community-rooted, people-powered farming. Your support feeds both your body and a neighborhood working together to grow good things. 💚

📲 Check our Instagram Stories every Thursday to see what produce will be available that day!

Your food should be as fresh and honest as the hands that grow it. Come see what’s good ✨

A quick note to let you know there will be no Contemplation & Cultivation gathering on Saturday, July 5th at the farm.

We’ll be back together on Saturday, July 12th at 10am — we look forward to reflecting and growing with you then.

🧡

Contemplation & Cultivation is our weekly gathering of volunteers. This is a time of reflection and togetherness at the farm. We take the first hour to observe and discuss whats going on around, within, and between us, and then partner together to work on the farm.

Saturdays 10 AM - 1 PM
70 W Delavan Avenue

Legend has it that St. Isidore would spend so much time in prayer that other farmers wondered how his fields were always so well-tended. The answer? Angels, it is said, came in the night to help with his farm work—rewarding his devotion with unseen support.

This is why we reach out to our community. During this crucial and fruitful time of the season, when every hand is needed in the soil, you are the angels who make this work possible.

This Saturday, help us get plants in the ground before Memorial Day—and then join us for a meal grown and prepared with gratitude by the farm.

We will have two waves of farmwork with a lunch feast in between. Come for one wave or both, but please join us for lunch either way. The schedule will be as follows:

10AM - 1PM: First Wave of farmwork
1 - 2PM: Lunch feast
2PM - 5PM: Second Wave of farmwork

Every May, we gather our community not just to work the land, but to honor the spirit of St. Isidore—the quiet farmer-saint who reminds us that there is holiness in our hands and grace in the soil.

Come plant with us, pray with us, and share in a meal that feeds more than hunger. All are welcome.

On Saturday, May 24th, we will have two waves of farmwork with a lunch feast in between. Come for one wave or both, but please join us for lunch either way. The schedule will be as follows:

10AM - 1PM: First Wave of farmwork
1 - 2PM: Lunch feast
2PM - 5PM: Second Wave of farmwork
