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.
