The garden and orchard provide free produce for residents of King Irving, Riverbend, and surrounding areas to increase access to healthy food in a food desert. Last year the gardens produced approximately 900 lbs. of produce and we hope to match that annually. We benefit the neighbors, giving no cost garden plot usage to 8 or more diverse families. We supply them with mulch, compost, and a beautifully maintained property. Our gardens and orchard will be utilized for education. We hope our bees will produce honey for us. The orchard apples, raspberries, strawberries can all be picked by the public and the orchard offers a beautiful green space for neighborhood enjoyment.
