After the weather forced an early asparagus harvest, the farm partnered with local restaurants to raise money for Operation Food Search. It donated the produce to Yolklore, Balkan Treat Box and Lazy Tiger, which in turn used it to create special menu items. A portion of the proceeds from sales of the dishes were donated to the nonprofit.
