As a society, we have become dangerously disconnected from the land

and the sources of food that sustain life.  We have detached ourselves

from the real source of wealth - a respectful and reverent relationship with

the land.

 

In 1998, I felt a calling to start a garden at my workplace, the Capuchin Soup

Kitchen.  The response was overwhelming and positive.  That small plot of land

grew into what is our Urban Farm project today.

 

EarthWorks Garden seeks to restore our connection to the environment and

community in keeping with the tradition of our spiritual patron, St. Francis.  It is

a working study in social justice and in knowing the origin of the food we eat

 

This project relies on the gracious donations of time from volunteers and

materials from sponsors.  Neighbors and friends of all ages, incomes and

faiths join us in our work.  I hope that you will visit us and see what a special

project EarthWorks Garden has become.
