OUR STORY

In 2020, when the pandemic hit, we faced a stark reality: empty grocery store shelves, soaring food prices, and uncertainty about our food security. Looking out at our backyard, we had a moment of clarity - why were we maintaining a grass lawn we couldn't eat?

That question led us down a transformative path. Through prayers, research, and curiosity, we discovered the concept of a food forest garden. Intrigued by the possibility, we dove deeper, eventually pursuing Permaculture Design Certification through the Colorado Permaculture Institute, where we later became volunteers. What began as a response to food scarcity evolved into a passion for sustainable living and teaching others.

Through this journey, we discovered biblical permaculture methods - working in harmony with God's design for creation. We learned to transform our yard into a food forest garden that honors the creator's principles, embracing our role as good stewards of this little piece of land.

Today, our once-empty, boring lawn has transformed into a thriving food forest garden, demonstrating how good stewardship provides food and improves one's whole being. This journey has deepened our connection to God, nurtured personal and spiritual growth, and enhanced our overall well-being.
