As part of our Five-Year-Strategic-Plan, we are investigating beginning an urban sustainable farming program. South Side Mission would eventually grow its own vegetables, farm its own fish, and share each with others. Will Allen, a MacArthur Genius Grant winner and his Growing Power charity in Milwaukee, WI have an outstanding enterprise going that does just that. We will be visiting Growing Power later this month to see what we can learn from them. Watch this video and let me know what you think!
Phil, I can't watch the video on this machine. However, this project sounds exciting. Have you heard of community garden projects? we have them here. Yours sounds even better. Giving the folks the skills to do their own. Yes sir, I like it. I really get excited by what Christ is doing in your mission.
