Beneficiary of Run/Walk Proceeds

We are proud to announce that we have chosen Fairgate Farm as the beneficiary for the 2025 Miles for a Mission Run/Walk. Our goal is to raise funds and awareness for the work of this important organization.

Fairgate Farm supports Stamford’s underserved residents through five core initiatives: Food Access, Education, Environmentalism, Volunteerism, and Community Building. Annually, the farm produces over 30,000 servings of fresh produce, distributed via volunteers, donations, and a "Pay What You Can" farmstand, ensuring affordability for all. This year, a new mobile farmstand will expand nutritious food access to Stamford communities. The farm also combats food waste through community composting and offers free public programs, including educational tours, gardening classes, cooking demonstrations, farm yoga, and family festivals.

We hope you will join us by registering, making an additional donation if you can, and spreading the word among your family and friends.
