Formerly Homeless Growing Gardens & Community |Central Texas Gardener

Genesis Gardens at Community First! Village, a Mobile Loaves & Fishes planned community for the formerly homeless, grows good health along with dignity. When Alan Graham, found and CEO of Mobile Loaves & Fishes, set out to nourish body and soul, he expanded his vision to a vibrant homestead where community partners helped make it come true. Now, instead of fast food, residents nurture good organic food they grow themselves, eat fresh eggs from their chickens, and tend cheese-making goats.

I love coming here to see these videos. Its great inspiration and makes me feel good to watch. I want to do this in Pennsylvania.. not just homeless but seniors living in their rvs to make ends meet on their retirement money.

Love seeing these people happy and feeling productive. This is living to me. Love to have a few people help me do a garden in Pa.

Convince gov to let everyone use an acre of free tax free fertile land to grow a food forest on and live on. End farm subsidies. End tax breaks to farms exsept those who grow healthy vegan food for human consumption exsept no large mono crops. End mandatory school, ged and hsd requirements, age limits, minimum wage, and exsessive regs. People should be able to learn how to do a good job they want so they can afford a house and car before 18. For those who and whos parents cant afford it, chairty (where the donar gets a full non refundable tax credit that carrys over for an unlimited number of years) and or the about 180,000dollars spent on k thru 12 per student could pay for it and trash k thru 12 and some of that money could be used to promote more independence and healthy living.
