The Food Farming Project Experiment Invitation!

Hello Everyone. I'd like to tell you about is the Citizens Food Farming Project. It is the first year and it is quite experimental, but we have high hopes for it. As you know there are many soup kitchens and food pantries around St. Petersburg and sadly there are many, many people having to rely on these kitchens and pantries because times are pretty tough. Typically pastas, breads, and potatoes, and canned goods are the staples. With the food farming project, we hope to provide these kitchens and pantries with fresh produce, year round.

How do we plan on doing this, you ask. We find citizens that have sunny yards or yard patches that they are willing to let the Food Farming Project use. We've just started and we have two committed yards thus far.

Then we find people who are willing to donate just one big bag of sphagnum peat to enrich the soil, that's about $10 to $20 for a compressed 3 cubic feet bag, depending on where you buy it. Peat donations are always welcomed and much needed.

Lastly, we find volunteers who are willing to dedicate a few hours a week gardening the committed farm patches/yards. Citizens who volunteer the use of yard space are not expected to also volunteer as gardeners but are welcomed, should they so desire.

So, all you apartment dwellers who dream about gardening but have no yard for it, and everyone who loves to garden that would like to help people who have lost much to at least keep or regain their health by providing them with nutritious food resources, and if you'd be willing to commit yard space or donate sphagnum peat moss, then please call me or email me at 813-486-5437, tracetaylorpublishing@gmail.com

One final note: The species we have chosen to propagate were chosen from organic, non GMO, heirloom stock for their hardiness and prolific production. Though we can not claim organic due to certification requirements, our goal is to avoid the use of chemicals in the Food Farming Project.
