Grow  Appalachia

The basic purpose of Grow Appalachia is to teach and support the people of Appalachia in addressing the tragedy of hunger in the region by learning to grow their own food to feed themselves.

Our program for 2011 was very successful. Our gardeners (22 families & 2 communtiy gardens) serve about 325 people. We held workshops on Basic Gardening, Disease & Insect Control, Food Preservation, Etc. All learned something.

At the end of the season, we had a Harvest Dinner with about 30 in attendance. All brought something made from what they grew. Everything was great!! Great food! Great fellowship!

We selected one of our gardeners as "Gardener of the Year", Bradie Nolan was recognized as that special person. Congrats to Badie!
