This week, we’re shining the spotlight on two incredible members of the Growing High Point volunteer community and sisters- Barb Hickey and Carol Stotko!

Barb and Carol have each contributed more than 100 volunteer hours this year, giving more than 200 hours combined to Growing High Point and earning special recognition at our Harvest Party!

You can often find them at our Urban Acres Food Hub, helping process harvests from local farmers and stepping in wherever an extra hand is needed. Their dedication, reliability, and willingness to help have made a meaningful impact on our work and the community we serve.

Congratulations, Barb and Carol, on this well-deserved recognition! Thank you for giving your time to help Growing High Point and our community grow. 💚

Last week, the team from Stratagon rolled up their sleeves and joined us at our Pershing Street greenhouses to help sow fall and winter crops. Their volunteer service was part of their Founding Day celebration on October 14, bringing employees together for a hands-on opportunity to give back to the High Point community. Among the volunteers was Mayor Cyril Jefferson, who joined in the work of planting seeds and growing community alongside the Stratagon team.

Founded on a commitment to helping others find resourceful solutions to complex challenges, Stratagon continues to live out its core values of a growth mindset, teamwork, and dedication to success. Those values are a natural fit with Growing High Point’s mission, making this partnership especially meaningful.

We’re grateful for Stratagon’s support and for the time spent in fellowship on the farm. The seeds planted this week will help nourish our community in the months ahead. 💚

We recently welcomed students and teachers from Trinity High School’s Academy of Hospitality & Tourism to White Oak Farm for an afternoon of learning, exploring, and connecting!

During their visit, students got an up-close look at Growing High Point’s work and learned more about urban farming, sustainable agricultural practices, and our efforts to make fresh, healthy food more accessible throughout our community. The experience also gave students an opportunity to see concepts from their Sustainable Tourism course come to life outside of the classroom.

Following the visit, Trinity High School Business and Marketing Teacher Riley Grubb shared that the group left “more educated on urban farming, sustainable agricultural practices, and making healthy food more accessible overall.”

We loved having the opportunity to share our work with such an engaged group of students and educators. Thank you to Trinity High School for spending the afternoon with us and to our Growing High Point team for sharing their knowledge and experiences! We hope experiences like these continue to inspire young people to think about the connections between agriculture, sustainability, healthy communities, and the future of our local food system. 🌱
