Join us on Saturday, May 22, for a tour of Benison Farm. We’ll meet at 9:30 a.m. at the farm, 2920 26th Ave. S, for a tour hosted by the Rev. Martha Goodwill and Marcy Crosby. Then there will be time to shop at their farmers’ market, the last of the season. If you’d like to attend, please e-mail Hillary Peete (hpeete@spcathedral.com) so we know how many to expect.
This urban farm is a joint project of St. Thomas’ and St. Augustine’s Episcopal Churches. Its purpose is to provide fresh produce to south St. Petersburg, often a food desert, and to engage a diverse group of people in serving the community. Through mutual work and learning groups from various ethnicities, religions, and backgrounds learn to respect each other and work together to support our community. At Benison Farm, racial reconciliation is taught and lived out and blossoms into the broader community.
