I read that in 2010 they produced 3200lbs of fresh produce!!! Best part was all of it went to the food bank. Makes me wonder what each of us could do in our area?

Hilarious to me, but in my town... I have to drive to a larger adjacent down to donate from my garden for the food pantry. The food pantry in our small town does not have enough refrigeration for produce at all. I wish someone would donate an extra fridge to them or something.

3,200 pounds of produce on 1/10 acre? Who says small farmers can't outproduce big ag?

I know I was blown away at the volume they produced. I saw the write up in Horticulture magazine it was a back issue on Victory Gardens (which is my new research obsession lately) and once I saw it I had to share.

People that do good for others should be congratulated. There is a lot of good from many people if you want to see it. There is also plenty of evil if you want to see it. It's all in the eyes of the beholder.
