Help kick-start the Hamilton Crop Circle!

Uniting a community in Northeast Baltimore through gardening.  Hamilton Crop Circle is seeking seed money to help our various projects grow!

  • Local Composting Program:

Hamilton Crop Circle works with area restaurants to collect compostable materials at no charge, reducing waste, while creating natural fertilizer.

  • Roof Top Gardening:

HCC is developing a system of rooftop gardening projects in the industrial and mercantile sectors throughout Baltimore City to produce locally grown food.

  • Feeding the hungry :

Recognizing the need to provide fresh food to Baltimore’s needy HCC has forged a partnership between Our Daily Bread and the Baltimore Farmers Market to donate fresh foods weekly.

  • Educational Growth:

By developing micro farms at area schools, HCC is educating young people about where food comes from, and how to grow it. The gardens are ideally watered by the school’s rooftop cistern. The vegetables find their way to the cafeteria and the science room.

If you get a chance,  please visit hamiltoncropcircle.blogspot.com and take a look at what we are doing in Baltimore!
