The Tapestry Farms urban farm system grows fresh produce and flowers throughout the Quad-Cities.
Refugees and volunteers work together at a dozen locations throughout the QC, growing regeneratively to benefit our community.
Produce is distributed to people in the Quad-Cities by delivery and through a network of food pantries. We also sell produce at the Quad-Cities Farmers’ Market at Schwiebert Park and the Bettendorf Farmers’ Market just south of the library.
Connect
Tapestry Farms seeks to open access to the resources already available for refugees in the Quad Cities. We navigate and cheer as they rebuild their lives with meaningful work, quality education and childcare, a safe and affordable home, good medical and mental health care, citizenship, and a caring community. Tapestry Farms is built on a spirit of humility, relationships, and collaboration.
Contribute
The people of Tapestry Farms are individuals with gifts, beauty, and strength. Our growing urban farm system is an opportunity for refugees and volunteers to put their skills to work, improving access to fresh, healthy food to all in our community. Food grown is distributed through individual deliveries and food pantries. We celebrate when a refugee’s life and experiences are valued and cherished.
Thrive
A thriving life is a self-determined life. Perhaps that means English language classes in the morning and tending a community garden in the afternoon. It could be children playing on soccer teams, gymnastics lessons, summer camp, or art class. Or, it can mean pursuing mental health treatment. Thriving is working towards goals to live a fulfilling life with friends, family, and neighbors.
