The Full Story
The GROW Farm
Growing Resiliency, Opportunity and Wellness
Welcome to the GROW Farm.
The GROW Farm is an initiative 2-years in the making. While serving as a working fresh produce farm, the GROW Farm will also serve as an sustainable growing hub providing classes, workshops and technical training for beginning and experienced growers. Workshops on health and wellness will be offered on-site as well. The grounds also may be used as a means for relaxation and gardening recreation by the public. Read below to learn more!
Mission
The GROW Farm seeks to address food insecurity, promote environmental stewardship, and empower individuals through hands-on agricultural education and community engagement.
Vision
The GROW Farm will work to create a sustainable, community-centered green space that transforms lives through access to fresh food, environmental education, and ecological restoration, fostering resilience and well-being in underserved urban communities.
How We Came to Be
The GROW Farm is a collaborative that joins the work of Lisa Kershaw's Joyful Souls Heirloom Nursery, its Sow & Grow Education Programs, and Jennifer Cunningham's Palmetto Learning Academy of SC and it's Nourish the Neighborhood Programs. Working together Lisa and Jennifer have supported over 600 youth and 400 adults in sustainable growing programs. They look to expand this programming to the 2-Acre plot of land through Mr. Lee Carroll to be a sustainably food producing site and growing educational hub.
