Garden Saturdays

Project Overview

In the months of May through October, it is our practice to meet every Saturday from nine to noon to harvest, wash, weigh, and stage our produce to be distributed for the week. Oftentimes we go out to share a meal afterwards and it’s a great time together.

What We Hope

We hope these resources will be helpful to you and spark your imagination as we all try to steward creation well and care for people at the same time. We want to be a demonstration ground for what you can do with something small and see the potential of every person, place, and thing. As Wendell Berry said, "There are no unsacred places; there are only sacred places and desecrated places" and it's our calling as the image of God to be about that sacred work of putting th world back together again.

Demonstration Farm

Our approach to gardening is “permaculture meets market gardening”. We grow in the ground, in raised beds, and in aquaponic systems.
