Did You Know? Our Community Garden

It’s time to get started with our Community Garden in Vandalia! Community gardens are a great way to nourish your family and help the larger community. Would you like to be involved?

It’s a lot like the story of the Little Red Hen. We can work together to grow some food, then families who assist can harvest what they need for their family’s use. The extras will be donated to local food pantry programs.

Check out the flyer below for complete details and contact information for you to express your interest.

OFFKM prez, 4-H youth plant, harvest garden

Video

We’re at the end of March right now, with rainy and overcast weather, but we know spring will truly emerge . . . soon!

     We’re reminded of the ‘ministry of gardening,’ as practiced by Bro. Curtis May, president of Our Father’s Family Keeper Ministries.

Bro. Curtis May, president of Our Father’s Family Keeper Ministries, shared his passion for gardening with 4-H youth who planted and harvested vegetables and gave away the food.

     Working with a group of 4-H youth, Bro. May and they planted and cared for vegetables they grew in his garden last year: beautiful, strong healthy kale and other greens, cabbage, tomatoes and eggplant, okra and various other peppers.

     The harvested garden  vegetables were donated to seniors, a private school in Cassopolis and a bi-weekly food bank.
