AgriCulture for All

Ever since April 18, 2025 members of our board, volunteers and many of our interns and junior interns have taken turns planting, watering and weeding the RWI NC1 farm. It’s been hard work maintaining the farm, but the lessons learned have been well worth it.

We are not only learning life skills and what it takes to maintain and grow our own food, but we are also learning how to collaborate and work together in multigenerational groups, which actually works out wonderfully for everyone involved. Someone’s weakness is another person’s strength and working together has made tending the farm a much easier task for everyone! Elders, veterans and people with disabilities were able to participate at the farm. Many hands makes light work, indeed! Given the chance, we’ve even been able to pick peas straight off the pod and enjoy the goodness from the ground first hand! It was a real treat that even our junior intern delighted in!

We are looking to grow our partners so we can expand our projects to assist people who are food insecure, such as children, elders, and people experiencing homelessness. We aim to jumpstart community gardening in Raleigh, Durham and Fayetteville, NC and San Antonio, TX.

If you would like to donate or lend a helping hand at the farm, we'd love to hear from you.
