At Vitruvian Farms, we are grateful to be a part of a community that cares about supporting local, sustainably-grown food. As best we can, we want to give back to the community and offer opportunities to learn and engage with sustainable agriculture.
Round Up Program
When you shop at our on-site farm store, ask the cashier to round up your total to the nearest dollar and we’ll donate that amount to a non-profit organization.
Each month a staff member gets to select a charity they care about which will receive 100% of Round Up donations.
