T.C. Collins started gardening  and farming at 2-3 years old with his great great grandparents. He has a great deal of expertise which is evident in the multiple gardens he maintains in our area. He has established Clay Hill Community Farm and Garden, Apple Ridge Community Garden, and Willow Run Acres. These local gardens have existing partnerships with a multitude of organizations within our community that coordinate a deep impact for families in our area.

Working with Chris Hallett of Project Grow, which will provide mulch, seedlings, and additional expertise, we will break ground on a one acre plot behind Faith Lutheran Church this spring.

The produce that is harvested this year will be sold in a new farm market that combines the harvest of multiple community gardens. Details to be announced soon.

The farm market hopes to provide fresh, quality produce at a cost lower than currently available in retail stores. Our share of the profits will help pay for the expenses of our community garden and help subsidize our diaper pantry.

There are multiple opportunities to help with this endeavor. If interested, please contact us using the form on our contact page and let us know how you would like to contribute.
