A PROJECT IN PROGRESS
Our "parking lot project" in partnership with C-Road church is pushing limits by converting an old parking lot into a community orchard. With excavation starting soon, this is our most extreme makeover to date!
We know how frustrating it is to work with a "professional" who doesn't really know their profession, this parking lot project is a public-facing project that will let you see behind the scenes as we document every success (and failure) along the way!

HOW IT WORKS
At Eden's Refuge we know that you want to be a person who has a lasting impact. In order to do that, you need to create permanent change in your community. The problem is that people cannot afford to eat, which makes you feel the weight and unjustness of food insecurity. We believe that the food in stores isn't as good as it should be; even when people can afford it. We understand both as parents and as active members of the community which is why we celebrate every bucket, bag, and box of food that comes from our orchards.
​
Here's how we do it: 1. Book a consultation 2. Discuss your project 3. Eden's Refuge creates a plan 4. You start growing food to change lives.
​
So, book a consultation. And in the meantime, download our guide with five mistakes to avoid in your orchard so you can stop watching people suffer, and instead be the one who feeds the hungry.
