Echoing Hope Ranch was awarded a $12,000 grant to expand its produce sales and participant employment program. They currently sell their produce at farmers markets in the county.
HEREFORD, Ariz. — Josh Clonts has worked many jobs, ranging from construction to car washing to farming— but he's found a home at Echoing Hope Ranch, helping in any way possible.
One of Clonts' favorite things to do on the ranch is to work in the gardens, seeing the produce grow. The fruits and vegetables at the ranch are distributed to the 46 participants, the staff and the community. Ranch Manager Daniel Wichers said they harvest more than 4,000 pounds of produce a year. Earlier this month, the Hereford nonprofit received a $12,000 grant to help with their supported employment program. The money will allow the organization to purchase stainless steel sinks and tables to help meet food distribution guidelines for food banks. Co-CEO, Chanse Frenette, said the participants of the program will work to get their food handlers certifications so the nonprofit can sell their produce to a larger audience.
