About this idea

We have secured 12×30 plot of land in Norton Shores Michigan, fondly called “ Soul Filled Gardens”. This plot will be used as “dirt therapy” for both veterans & youth, to grow greens, tomatoes, peppers, cabbage, beans, onions and sweet potatoes. Said items, once harvested will be distributed at the local farmers market throughout vending season.

•In addition to the veteran and at-risk community working together, every Saturday from 9am-11am at the Muskegon Farmers Market culinary instructional classes will be led by Chef Lakisha, teaching participants how to use the fresh farm picked items in the recipes, canning and meal preparations
