Business Partner Program

CEI has crafted our business partner program to celebrate organizations that share our vision of communities where people and nature thrive together. We are grateful for partnerships that help deepen our roots and extend our reach. Your generosity will be fruitful in so many ways, supporting:
  • Fresh food donated to the community
  • Diverse and productive teaching gardens
  • Space for people to learn skills in service of resiliency and sustainability
  • Proactive ecosystem conservation
  • Programs responsive to our diverse intergenerational community: children; families; teens; adults; retirees; individuals with developmental differences; and more
  • Collaboration with community organization to further the reach and benefit of nature-based experiences
Our newsletter reaches a distribution list of ~ 5,000 people. Our social media channels have a similarly robust reach and our website averages more than 1,200 distinct visitors each month. Our land is a unique place of diverse common ground and a hive of activity. We have welcomed over 3,000 individuals to Freetown Farm in the past three years!
Our sponsor categories each reflect a perennial fruit tree planted at Freetown Farm. Let's grow together! ​
