Mother Carr’s Farm – Lynwood, Illinois
Grant Award: $5,000
Project: Install a drip irrigation system (with pump and filter) on a three-acre farm to improve water efficiency, reduce labor, and support soil and crop productivity for produce distribution, an internship program, and donations.
Outcome: Mother Carr’s Farm piloted drip irrigation to reduce physical strain on its team while improving water conservation and crop consistency. The system laid the groundwork for expanded irrigation in future growing seasons. It also reduced the physical toll on the team while conserving water.
