“ Our goal is to create community around good healthy food . We don ’ t use chemical , pesticide , herbicide , or fertilizer . We ask our community to work with us , and in lieu of labor , we take food home , good , wholesome healthy food . We do not have our own plots , instead we share so all of our community can share in the work and harvest !”
