Make A Contribution To Our Cause & Our Movement Today!

Welcome all readers and followers! I would like to welcome you to today's SPECIAL update. 

***Make Your Contribution Now By Clicking HERE ***

We are on the verge of a food revolution in this beautiful world we call home.  It involves the banishing of GMO (genetically modified organisms/food) and corporatized farming and the ushering in of locally grown and organic foods. These foods are taken care of and loved from seed to plate and that is exactly what we are doing here with AgriDome Community Farms. Please do also read our mission statement located on our blog HERE 

SO... 

What will a contribution to AgriDome Community Farms Do? 

  1. You will be helping to start a food revolution that looks to change the face of agriculture in a positive way, bringing your food closer to you as well as bringing back the small farmer and providing a higher standard of work for others (i.e. no slave farm labor that treats immigrants and others like dirt).
  2. You will be helping your local community through the distribution of donations made on behalf of our organization to local causes, groups and charities.
  3. You can also help us replant a rainforest with the Plant a Billion Trees campaign through The Nature Conservancy with a donation of $50 or more!
  4. You can improve you own health with a specially picked health/fitness book with a donation of $150. Receive two health/fitness books when you donate $200 or more! 
  5. You also get to see on our blog the progress we are making and what your donations are helping us to do. All actions with your money will be shown one time or another on the blog whether we are buying new supplies, donating to a local cause, adding a new item to our grow list and MUCH MORE! 
  6. And... finally. A donation made to AgriDome Community Farms' vision will garner you the most sincere and heartfelt 'thank you' from our team! We sincerely hope to expand this into an urban/rural agricultural phenomenon where all produce is grown at the local level no matter the climate needed. It will be provided, all organic, all chemical free! 
As stated above all of our activities will be made public and completely transparent. This is not something that is set to steal money from society. Instead with this project we will be "Paying It Forward".  It will be used to further the vision, be invested and donated again! So all contributions are going to compound as we start to build ourselves and give back. Below you will see a trailer of the fantastic movie, "Pay It Forward" (Warner Bros. Pictures, 2000). This is our mission for your health and the happiness of humanity!

What Is AgriDome Community Farms and What Does It Mean For Our World?

Welcome everyone to our page and project!  

AgriDome Community Farms is a concept put together through years of careful observation of the problems that face the modern world and especially the use of land and agriculture.

Our short term goals are to continue getting a small operation going in a controlled greenhouse to offer 100% organic (heirloom when available) produce at a local scale at lower prices. We believe that it just is not fair to price people out of the nutrition that they need. Eventually this would take the form of a co-op that would involve AgriDome Community Farms in multiple communities sharing seeds, recipes and the such. Right now there is a makeshift greenhouse and a few vegetables and herbs. Also just added is organic wheatgrass and some organic sprout varieties. But we would LOVE to expand and through your help we can! We encourage you to follow us on Facebook as well at:

for updates, health news and info on produce, herbs, vitamins and MUCH more to keep you healthy and happy! You will also notice that we have a donations tab located near the top left corner of our page! Or just Click Here! Donations of any size are always encouraged and you will be able to view what your donations have allowed us to do along the way as we post updates to this page!

Below you will see a full in depth look into what AgriDome Community Farms really looks to accomplish out of our small humble beginnings.

FUTURE VISION OF AGRIDOME COMMUNITY FARMS



While we continue to ship produce and other grown food products sometimes thousands of miles, many do not stop to realize the freshness of the produce has been reduced 30-50% over a 5-10 day shipping. Not only is our produce not always the freshest but it is also shipped via train, truck, boat or plane, all of which contribute to air, soil and water pollution. 


As the world's population continues to grow our need for food production also grows. Farming as it is in most of the world today with the largely commercialized aspect has taken a toll on an industry that should be more personable. We've also depleted our soil of nutrients at an alarming rate through over tilling and other intensive agricultural practices such as herbicides, pesticides, GMOs etc. We should take pride in what we eat and know exactly what it is, how it was produced and where it came from. This is where AgriDome Community Farms step in.

There are numerous urban agricultural plots, gardens and greenhouses across the globe that have given a great start to a growing movement. With our idea we look to have a facility that will be a 100% contained environment that is free of contaminants and uses the purest water, air and soil possible for maximum nutrient density in the foods grown and produced. There will be differing rooms environmentally regulated to simulate the foods optimum growing habitat (temperature, moisture, light etc.). This ultimately would mean fruits such as acai, banana, mango and coconuts could be grown year round, anywhere on the planet. Or cooler climate crops could be grown in the dead of summer in the tropics. In addition less and less land will be needed for agricultural production and could be returned to it's natural state to be used as pasture, nature parks and protected lands.

The produce and food produced from AgriDome Community Farms would be shipped directly into the local community. Restaurants, grocers, food banks, churches, schools, the farmer's markets and citizens would have a direct link to the facility for any and most fresh food needs. 



There will also be an organic store and restaurant attached to the facility where all food will be prepared from the produce and animal products grown and or raised in house. Facility Informational Tours also are a great potential to give the community a look at it's growers and volunteers and an educational tool for not only school age children and teens but adults as well.

And lastly the AgriDome Community Farm would be a source for civic benevolence/donating. A greater portion of profits earned would be donated directly back into the community or city. Just some examples that have been reviewed would be money for the park districts, streets and highway projects/upgrades, beautification projects, homeless shelters, soup kitchens, local charities, libraries, schools (boosters, music/art programs etc.), hospitals, farmer's markets and other civic celebrations like parades and fireworks and many MANY more!

We would so much appreciate any kind of donation that you can make. Even a few dollars goes a long way when sharing this great opportunity for our world with your friends and family. We truly hope to bring a unified force to the urban and local farming movement through co-oping. Together we can change our world, our health and our future!
