The Story Behind the Name

Back in the first half of last century, the Farmers Federation, a local agricultural cooperative that helped area farmers make a better living, started a project called "The Lord's Acre." Inspired by the biblical tithe (gift of a tenth), farmers who signed up donated the produce from one acre of their crops to help feed others. Within 11 years from humble beginnings near Asheville, NC, The Lord's Acre project grew to include over a thousand churches, 20 denominations with gardens flourishing throughout the US and in India, China, Brazil, Mexico and Japan. Inspired by past success we are working together to bring The Lord's Acre plan to those in need.
