Our Story

KAREN & MCCABE – FOUNDERS OF PLENTY!

OUR STORY –

Plenty! started in 2008 when one of our founders, Karen Day realized that the local food pantry could not take fresh beet greens that she gleaned at a farm where she was volunteering.  She immediately went to work finding who could use the surplus.  From this germ grew Portable Produce and then the Plenty! Fresh Pantry.  Plenty! was an all-volunteer organization until 2016 when the founders were forced to stop the work due to personal matters.  Plenty! gained non-profit status in 2015 and now distributes food year-round five days a week.

The Farm began in 2014 on 17 acres along the Little River. It uses organic practices, like crop rotations and cover crops to sustain the health of the land and to provide clean, healthy food year-round

The work of Plenty! would not be possible without the help of more than 50 volunteers each week operating under the direction of Plenty! staff.
