Around here, you’ll find vegetables growing where grass used to be, fruit trees tucked into every corner we can find, chickens happily wandering around Shady Pines Retirement Home, and a giant Rottweiler named Samson who takes his job as supervisor very seriously.
What started as a little backyard herb garden has grown into something we never could have imagined.
Sure, we grow food.
But somewhere along the way, we realized we were growing something else, too.
We’ve watched strangers become neighbors.
Neighbors become friends.
And friends become family.
That’s why our motto has become Cultivating Community. Harvesting Home.
Because the tomatoes are wonderful.
The fresh eggs are pretty amazing.
And harvesting dinner from your own backyard never gets old.
But the real magic happens when someone leaves here believing, maybe for the first time, “I can do this too.”
Whether you have acres of land or a few pots on an apartment patio, whether you’re planting your very first basil seed or dreaming about a food forest, you’re welcome here.
So come walk the garden.
Pull up a chair on the front porch.
Stay awhile.
We’re always growing something…and we’re always glad to share it.
If You’re New Here…
You don’t need a farm.
You don’t need acres of land.
You don’t even need to know what you’re doing.
You just need to be curious.
Whether you’re growing herbs on an apartment balcony, dreaming about your first raised bed, or already planning a backyard food forest, we’re glad you’re here.
We’ll learn together, celebrate the wins, laugh at the failures, and keep growing one season at a time.
