This time last year, we had just finished building 2 greenhouses. This year we've harvested and sold some salads ... learn more about what's growing on at #ProjectPine in the White Rock Neighborhood of Downtown Lynchburg. We're Growing and Springing into Customer Satisfaction!
General Business Update... Living Water Harvesters is indeed alive and well. Whom are we kidding, we are actually Thriving! There have been many new developments and efforts in regards to solving the Food Desert Challenge. Many STRETCH activities have helped us snare the overall business plan in a conventional format, develop a food brand product, and have revealed more knowledge & detail about our target market/consumer base. In short, we've been right busy this past spring with Land Clearing, Land Restoration, Building, Procuring Greenhouses, and finally we're growing & harvesting Food ! Hey, just to be transparent all of this work is has only been performed by less than a handful of Laborers and the HAND of the LORD. Keep reading to learn more!
Our vision for the Sustainable 20 & 5 program, wherein we ambitiously aim to build 20 Micro-Farms in 5 years, is well underway. We've officially acquired an additional 5 parcels of land.
As of today, LWH has over an acre of city growing space. Our new lands are in areas defined as food deserts. Wherein we shall eliminate the food desert by growing fresh fruits, vegetables, and fish; teaching others how to fish; and discipling fishers of men. We are a debt free organization with a strong desire to owe no man anything, but Love. We are extremely grateful for the Lord opening the doors and the hearts of those whom have chosen to co-labor (officially & unofficially) to help us advance the Kingdom of Heaven, reap the Harvest, and Feed His sheep. May the works done in secret indeed be rewarded openly in an abundance by the Father in Heaven. One can expect ground dedication and & breaking ceremonies through-out the coming weeks & months. To get involved an help churn these lands into Micro & Urban Farms you can click here. If you would like to sponsor a program, a farm or our day-to-day operations S.O.W. Here to Support Our Work. Thanks & Stay Blessed! As you know we are building completely sustainable off grid micro-farming systems. Thus we look to eliminate the bills for food (vegetables & meat), water (potable & non-potable), and electricity. In exploring these realms and networking we are excited to offer services dealing with solar electricity!
You've heard we've been blessed by the Lord to acquire land, Come find out how we are making headway to build to suit for our first micro-farm on Pine Street.
Let everything that has breathe Praise The LORD, Praise The Lord, Praise The Lord !!
We have been blessed to acquire new land in the middle of a food desert in the city of Lynchburg. A place of our own, a place some will call home! In the middle of Lynchburg City, we gathered 17 citizens (about 11 children & 6 adults) and taught them the basics of the full life cycle of growing plants to eating for health. We know you may have heard about it, but here is your opportunity to find out more about the event and its outcomes.
Much of September has been spent acquiring land and resources to build and grow food in the winter. In addition, we have been narrowing down the challenges we are going to seriously champion.
We have procured a sample of the totes for the grow space. Finished the grow365 design and now are working to share the word about our agri-business and obtain additional sites across Virginia. This spring has indeed been fruitful and all glory & praise be to GOD. HE has delivered and continues to share with us the promises which shall manifest.
Stay in touch and Stay Tuned. And above all things Labor with us Today! The ground has been broken and we have made serious headway on being able to "till" the earth. Learn more about our first installation of the Grow-365 GreenHouse Concept.
The headquarters for LWH has been determined; however, LWH is awaiting the funds so the site can manifest.
In the meantime, after 7 months of searching and being diligent in asking the unthinkable, additional ground has been located and made available to LWH. This new "fertile" ground will serve as the primary office until the HQ truly manifests. To GOD be the glory. Hallelujah! Amen. |
