The organization decided this year that Market Provisions was no longer a viable program that was meeting the organizational goals for supporting local food. This change in program success was largely due to changes in the Dallas Farmers Market that caused a change in the customer base. We decided we could be more successful in adapting to a different approach to meet goals. 158245 141700 GNTX Giving Grove installs community fruit tree orchards in collaboration with community organizations who steward the orchards, donating at least 50% of production back to the community. Each year since 2022, GNTX Giving Grove has installed 15-20 orchards in partnership with community organizations such as schools, community centers, and churches. The average orchard is 15 trees. When productive these orchards collectively will provide thousands of pounds of fresh fruit to communities with low access fresh produce. The trees also add to the overall tree canopy and beautification of these locations. 187124 408305 Farm Success provides education and training for local farmers with a focus on new and beginning farmers. Through webinars, workshops, and technical assistance, Farm Success supports the development of 150 farmers annually in the north Texas area.

It is part of the Owenwood Farm & Neighbor Space collaborative. Owenwood Farm successfully grows $15,000-$20,000 worth of produce each and continues to expand. The farm also hosts a 40 tree demonstration orchard for GNTX Giving Grove. This orchard is always open to the public. The Owenwood Community Garden hosts 10-15 local residents who grow their own food and also provides teaching space for after school programs. GROW North Texas provides support for all of these activities. Fresh Stop Farm Stands facilitates the WIC Farmers Market Nutrition Program in collaboration with local farmers to provide fresh produce to families with WIC benefits. Working with other local farms and the Dallas WIC program, Fresh Stop serves an average of 1300 families with over $35,000 in produce. In 2023, Fresh Stop also served as the program umbrella for a special project to increase promotion of SNAP (formerly food stamps) at farmers markets. 269514 0 306855 832356 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 22 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 3 3 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 X Susan Marshall 9728140928 PO Box 7103 Dallas TX 752090103 X Susan Marshall Executive Director 38 0 X 42000 0 42000 Kim Aman Board Chair 3 0 X 0 0 0 Cody McMahan Board Member 1 0 X 0 0 0 Mary Susan Spears Board member 1 0 X 0 0 0 42000 0 42000 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 612511 270052 0 882563 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 144785 93675 51110 51110 0 0 0 933673 51110 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 43000 35900 6000 1100 0 0 0 0 398432 398432 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 33522 33066 456 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 4590 4490 0 100 14086 13036 1000 50 10734 8234 2000 500 0 0 0 0 51512 51512 0 0 1029 1029 0 0 0 0 0 0 19428 19428 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 6521 6021 500 0 Owenwood Farm & Fresh Stop 71634 71634 0 0 GNTX Giving Grove 77680 77680 0 0 Farm Success Producer Education 71260 71260 0 0 Market Provisions and Other 40634 40634 0 0 844062 832356 9956 1750 12171 49419 206392 215120 24546 5378 92469 0 38683 92469 281792 362386 12633 3616 0 0 0 0 0 0 149900 149900 162533 153516 X 38346 94000 80913 114870 119259 208870 281792 362386 89611 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 205339 232022 244997 325903 655795 1664056 0 0 0 0 205339 232022 244997 325903 655795 1664056 1664056 0 0 0 0 270637 208773 191687 223758 371553 1266408 2930464 0 0.56785 0.52112 X Schedule A, Part II, Line 10 This program revenue is related to sales at Market Provisions, on-farm store, workshop fees, and contracts with collaborating organizations that relate to our five programs.
