Each week, our team packs up our refrigerated van and pulls into downtown Rock Island on Saturday mornings with produce grown across our urban farm system.

As we weather this era and adapt to what comes, three truths remain: we will walk alongside refugees as they find home again, we will grow food in community to feed our community, and we will continue to be so very thankful for you and your support of this work.

Gather with us in love and hope to celebrate the beginning of the growing season with food, drinks, music, a silent auction, and a special guest speaker all in support of our refugee neighbors.

The three-year grant will ensure that Tapestry Farms can sustainably grow while taking on the intertwined work of food insecurity and supporting refugee families.

At Tapestry Farms, we embrace a social enterprise model that combines the principles of social entrepreneurship with direct service to refugees in the Quad Cities. This approach allows us to not only provide essential support to families resettling in our community, but also to build a sustainable, community-driven organization that reinvests in both people and the land.

This summer Tapestry Farms families are learning language skills and building community. Three times a week for six weeks, two dozen students—adults, teenagers, and children with five different languages between them—faithfully gather to study English in an encouraging, welcoming environment.

When you visit the QC Farmers’ Market this summer, you’ll find that Tapestry Farms is a proud vendor selling fresh produce grown locally in support of new members of the Quad Cities community.

On a beautiful day in May, five kids from Syria and I hopped onto a giant teeter totter in Des Moines. The kids had just finished an appointment, and noticed a park across the street.

Gather together in joy and love - enjoy a casual evening of food, drinks, music, and a silent auction. A special guest will share a story of refuge in the Quad Cities.

"Refugees are forced to seek safety elsewhere because home, forever soul-filled and memory-rich, is no longer safe. For refugees, exile is the solution to the problem of death."
