Your food will be fresher and taste more flavorful. There’s nothing fresher than picking tomatoes off your own vines at the peak of ripeness, when they are packed with mouth-watering flavor and nutritious vitamins. Growing your own produce allows you to harvest when the food is at its very best.

You control what goes in and on your food. Organic produce costs more in stores because it costs more to grow commercially. It’s far easier for a home gardener to grow their own food organically using natural ingredients like compost and manure to enrich the soil. We can choose to use organic fertilizers and pest control measures as we desire.

It’s better for the environment. You lessen your environmental impact when you grow your own food because you’re eliminating the need for it to be trucked from the farm to the processing plant to the store.

Gardening is good for you! We’re all interested in lower maintenance gardens, but getting some exercise is never a bad thing! Did you know that gardening for just 45 minutes can burn the same number of calories as running 1 ½ miles in 15 minutes?

It will give you something to be genuinely proud of. When you grow your own food, you’ll find there’s a certain pride and satisfaction that comes with it all. Being able to walk out into your garden and harvest the produce you grew yourself is rewarding at an almost primal level. We can sustain ourselves, we can feed our family and friends healthy food that’s been grown with the utmost care and love poured into it. It feels good to grow our own food.

We are starting with what we have. With over an acre of land designated to growing food we want your help in growing our garden to a homestead and then to food production on a local level for all of the different communities we serve.
