Tapestry Farms is celebrating the season of giving with the launch of an expanded product line, featuring handmade baklava, fresh flower arrangements, and locally grown vegetables. The items are available as both one-time holiday purchases and 2026 subscriptions.
Holiday pre-orders and 2026 subscriptions are available now online at: https://www.tapestryfarms.org/shop.
“Our community is stronger and more vibrant because of the talent and traditions that our refugee neighbors bring to the Quad Cities,” said Ann McGlynn, executive director of Tapestry Farms. “Our baklava, flower, and fresh vegetables allow people to enjoy something delicious or beautiful while supporting the families who make the Quad Cities their home.”
Tapestry Farms invests in the lives of refugees who resettle in the Quad Cities, focusing on access, urban farming, and building a welcoming future. Through its urban farm program, Tapestry Farms reclaims underutilized land in neighborhoods experiencing food insecurity. It does thatby growing culturally responsive produce so that everyone in the community can be abundantly fed.
Every item offered this holiday season is made or grown by refugee employees rebuilding their lives in the Quad Cities. Proceeds from all purchases directly supporting Tapestry Farms’ employment and social service programs for refugee families.
