gardening for food
Gardening for Food is so important! It is important to food security and is a healthy pastime. Learn to create and sustain your own garden through being educated on topics, such as soil health, choosing which plants to grow and when (see Clydes Garden Planner), plant care through seasonal shifts, and food preservation methods.
We teach others to be self-sufficient by sharing practical information and encouraging spiritual truths from the Bible to give you peace and freedom. We present information by demonstrating what we do including making essential household items from scratch, growing food and small family farm animal husbandry.

soil health
Fertilize naturally by using castings from a worm farm and deter the bad bugs by placing egg shells around the base of your plants. Make a rich soil with worm castings, coffee grounds, animal manuer and compost from kitchen scraps.

seasonal shifts
Utilize working spaces, such as a "shade house", a "green house" or planting in pots or on trellises. Learn to care for a wide variety of plants according to what the seasons and weather changes dictate. Grow what you eat, and eat what you grow!
