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.

We are excited to share a special video with you that was released this week by Deere & Co. featuring the people and work of Tapestry Farms.

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."

We are hiring! Tapestry Farms seeks a year-round community navigator to lead our seasonal vegetable urban farm system and mentor refugee youth and young adults.

In partnership with the Deere Foundation, Freight Farms, the city of Rock Island, and the Quad City Botanical Center, Tapestry Farms announces a significant expansion of our food-growing capabilities for 2024 and beyond.

Our most important aspiration is that all of the people of Tapestry Farms believe they are supported and cared for. We hope that kindness and perseverance are the languages of Tapestry Farms.

As we start year number seven of Tapestry Farms, we have some wonderful things happening that I hope will encourage you to continue supporting our work.

Very few things make us happier here at Tapestry Farms than when people with limited financial resources are able to easily access fresh, locally grown produce that they love to eat - for free.

Eleven crews, about 100 people, planted, planted, and planted some more this spring. Thank you for helping get our crops in the ground!

An opening reception for “Our neighbors, Our Friends: Unsere Nachbarn, Unsere Freunde,” an exhibit at the German American Heritage Center & Museum, in partnership with Tapestry Farms, will be held Sunday, March 6.

On a morning when the temperature dipped to a point where a negative sign was required before the number, a group of people gathered together on a street corner in the Quad Cities.

On sunshiny days, sometimes we just go, stand on the land at Third and Brown streets in Davenport, and think about the life that is to come in this corner of the world.

From our executive director, Ann McGlynn: This morning, a particularly cute four-year-old pointed his index finger at me. It was clear he had something to say.
