Donate
Tax-deductible donations directly fund container build-out, livestock, sensor equipment, solar expansion, and education programs. AI Sustainable Foods Inc. is a 509(a)(2) public charity (EIN 93-1895646) with the Candid Gold Seal 2026. We are actively fundraising with zero liabilities.
Volunteer
The farm welcomes individual volunteers, student groups, and corporate teams. Tasks include animal care (feeding, egg collection, pasture management), field crop planting, mushroom log inoculation, workshop assistance, and farm stand operations.
No prior farming experience required. We train on-site. Regular volunteers may participate in research documentation for USDA SARE grant reporting. Contact us to schedule.
Corporate Sponsorship
Corporate sponsors receive naming recognition on farm infrastructure, inclusion in annual impact reports, and access for team-building events. Our farm directly addresses UN SDG 2: Zero Hunger, SDG 7: Clean Energy, and SDG 13: Climate Action — alignment that strengthens ESG reporting.
Contact us to discuss partnership opportunities.
Research Collaboration
Our analysis of USDA SARE-funded projects found zero existing research precedent for our combination of systems. This creates unique opportunity for university researchers, Penn State Extension agents, and graduate students to collaborate on peer-reviewed studies.
The farm’s real-time sensor data (accessible via public Grafana dashboards) provides continuous data for longitudinal studies across all operational systems. Contact us to propose a research collaboration.
