Robert W.’s Review of the Garden Planner
The Backyard Farm Project is a mission through the Way Ministries. A small five-person congregation of disciples of Christ came to volunteer as I put the proposal together this season after planning it for two years.
Our goal was to become a farm that would supply food to those in need and incapable of purchasing farm-fresh produce from farmers’ markets around town. The goal was also to edify my community on healthy life choices, educate the youth on growing methods and the need to eat highly nutritious food, and empower even the homeless and poor to access organic produce through other outlets!
