The Elevar Fund celebrates our grantee partners of 2025
Oaks and Sprouts
In Spring, 2025, the Elevar Fund, in partnership with Healing Soils Foundation, formed the Regenerate Ohio Farms Grant to offset financial disruptions and provide critical relief to Ohio farmers affected by delayed and cancelled federal funding.
The first round of funding includes a partnership with Oaks and Sprouts, a family-owned and operated farm affected by these cuts. Using regenerative and natural farming techniques, owners Tonni and Graham Oberley are committed to producing socially and environmentally responsible food and agricultural products as part of the local food and economic system.
