Great Kids Farm is built on the support and generosity of Baltimore residents. Since the fall of 2008, the Farm has received invaluable donations and in-kind contributions including goats, wagons, tools, a plow, composting worms, herb and fig cuttings, refrigerators, paint, and more!

Following is a list of items that would be particularly useful in 2010. Thank you to everyone who has made this incredible effort so successful!
