The Lord's Acre

About.

The Lord’s Acre started out as a group of local folks who were interested in making a difference for those in our community who did not have fresh, nutritious food readily available. Some of us were to some extent farm and garden knowledgeable and some us didn’t know which end of a plant to put in the ground. We had a borrowed plot of ground and a desire to make a difference.

Now in our ninth growing season, the garden has brought thousands of people into the opportunity to be inspired by new ways of bringing people together around fresh food. We don’t believe the “giver” and “receiver” labels, since we all have something to offer and all have something we need. As we like to say, “Everyone is hungry for something.” What we have found is that many are hungry for an opportunity to give, to be of service and to be a part of something bigger than themselves.
