Community Involvement

At Kreider Farms, being good stewards of the land is just part of who we are. It’s a commitment we’ve made that’s helped us succeed and grow for over 82 years. Part of that commitment means embracing opportunities to give back to our local community and to support organizations around the world that empower others and share our mission and values.



Kreider Farms is proud to partner with World Vision USA in its efforts to empower children and families in nearly 100 countries around the world. Ron and Hollee Kreider recently traveled to Africa to give a ‘hand-up’ to family farmers who share our mission of being good stewards of the land.

 

On Saturday May 19, Kreider Farms hosted its first World Vision 6-K for Water on our Manheim Pennsylvania farm to raise money to provide life-changing clean water for children in need. Our goal was to raise $100,000 and we raised $155,000 and hosted over 300 participants! The reason this was a 6-K and not a 5-K (like most races), it is because 6-K is the average distance people have to walk round trip in impoverished countries to get drinking water. The $155,000 raised from this walk will provide fresh water wells in local communities for up to 3,000 children around the world.
