A wide variety of vegetables is grown there-tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, okra and squash in the summer. Cool weather finds cabbage, kale, lettuce, and onions covering the garden beds. All vegetables are grown using organic methods, staying true to the commitment to grow good food for those in need.
All produce is distributed through Bread Partners, a local ministry. In the two years of the garden’s existence, over 4200 lbs. of produce has been donated. What’s even more exciting is that with intensive planting the garden is more than doubling its production this year!
But measuring this garden, or indeed any garden, by the weight of the produce is only part of the story.
A small group of volunteers (average age 66!) are the hands and heart of the garden-planting, watering, weeding, harvesting and most of all, enjoying each other’s company.
