Krishan Farms hasn't added a story.
This is the dream of Krishan Anderson. A woman of ordinary circumstances, who was extraordinary in action. Her dream to have small farm to grow food varieties that have been forgotten. Not only to sell to the general public, but to donate a percentage of the foods produced to local food banks. "Everyone should have opportunity to enjoy good foods, even the less fortunate." She believed that these flavorful varieties of fruits and vegetables made for better meals. And so our slogan reflects just that.
Who was Krishan Anderson? No one seemingly any more special than you who are reading this now. She worked as a cashier in a gas station. Donated time to animal rescues. Loved hiking and the outdoors. She was much more. She brought joy to people. She would help anyone she could with the near nothing she had. When she walked into a room, it wasn't long before that room was filled with joy and laughter. She loved making people happy. When she found her life partner they moved to a far away country home. To fulfill a dream.
Wat dream? Krishan was in awe at a small obscure farmers market where she had her first blue strawberry and purple tomatoes. On the way home, she was moved and motivated to grow better varieties of fruits and vegetables and together with her life partner, a plan to make a small farm to do just that, was hatched. The work began. To take this desert country home and make it into an oasis, one filled with colorful and flavorful forgotten strains of fruits and vegetables.
Now to the sad part of the story. During these efforts, Covid came along. Krishan became sick. After a stay in the hospital she came home, but was far from better. Her lungs did not recover. She had gone into complete respiratory failure. A condition that eventually took her life. One night in April 2021, she woke up her life partner in a panic. "I can't get any breath!", She exclaimed. He rushed her to the car, drive to neighbors who were fellow members of the local fire department and called 911. After two hours of CPR, she was pronounced deceased. The firefighters, sheriff deputy, ambulance and her life partner were all overwhelmed with grief. At that very moment it began to rain and for three days it continued.
After a period of mourning I realized that Krishan's Dream could live on. That in her honor, we her friends and family could make it a reality in her honor. For the last year I have toiled to that end. Krishan Farms now has three properties, one of which is our home base and the site to be used for the main operations. The place has been turned into a showcase property for the farm. Beginning with some flowers we have our first products. Unfortunately the labor and time also cost us a great deal of money. Having dedicated every minute to this idea, funds have run out. We are so close. So we are reaching out beyond our own circle, to the general public for help.
What do we need? We need to keep up the mortgage, finish the greenhouse and get seeds growing to lush plants. There is also the need to keep the power on and be able to spend some money on marketing. We hope to be able to have a full crop of flavorful varieties for sale in this fall. If we can get started on these finishing touches soon. The dedication it has taken and continues to take, doesn't allow time for another job. Help us to be able to choose Krishan Farms and honoring Krishan herself and our way of life.
Donation perks will be mailed when either we reach out goal, the campaign is terminated or the campaign expires, whichever comes first.
