The Farm initiative is designed to use donated land to grow crops that will be used to feed the hungry of NW Arkansas, provide a foundation for Community Supported Agriculture opportunities and provide financial resources from the sale of a portion of the harvest in order will offset operational costs and become fully self-sufficient. The Farm initiatives has grown out of the story that began with the relationship established at 1,287 with World Garden's Community Feeding Program now known as the Garden.

Gatherers & Distribution teams are responsible for collecting and distributing food from local sources to be used in feeding the hungry in our communities.
Distribution helpers are asked distribute the prepared food to local points of distribution to include (but not limited to): local housing shelters, food pantries, soup kitchens, Cobblestone Project iniatives, etc.
This event is designed to allow people to connect with the heart and vision of the 3 Bags in 2 Days initiative. It is an opportunity to connect with others involved, prep for bag distribution by packing bags, counting inventory, and get all of our minds together and sharing ideas!
The Sept 11th service day at Restoration Village & Children's Advocacy center will be used to begin to prepare the Village for winter.
The village is heated by wood burning stoves, so we will be cutting/splitting wood, stacking and using fallen trees on the property. We will need people with chainsaws, wood splitters, trailers and some strong backs to help; however, with enough people the work will go fast.
