Cultivation Station is a recently created nonprofit organization in central Arkansas that seeks to repurpose underutilized property into high-quality example spaces such as an intensive market garden, greenhouse and nursery production, cut-flower systems, and small orchard or u-pick models. We are not just building a garden. We are building a hands-on training and demonstration hub where people can learn practical growing skills in real working systems. Cultivation Station will soon offer fun, hands-on horticultural, gardening, and agricultural classes designed to build practical skills and spark curiosity for growers at every level.

Why donate now

Your donation helps us move from planning to production by covering the early essentials that make a site work: soil, water, tools, plants, and teaching supplies. Early gifts also help us build a consistent donation pipeline with partners so food reaches people who need it, reliably and repeatedly.

What your gift supports right now

• Seeds, starts, and propagation supplies for production and classes

• Soil building, compost, amendments, and mulch

• Irrigation parts, timers, hoses, and water access costs

• Tools and small equipment that students and volunteers can actually learn on

• Harvest totes, wash and pack supplies, and delivery logistics for donations

• Materials for workshops and short courses (hands-on, take-home friendly)

Our impact model

As we mature, we aim to structure our work so harvest and learning reinforce each other: produce sales support operations, a strong donation pipeline improves food access, and on-site education turns the farm into a repeatable model others can copy.
