“The garden is owned by St. Ann School. There is a garden club that visits weekly to help and to learn. There is a summer school class that spends time in the garden every day learning about growing food and keeping chickens.”
St. Ann Farm is a ministry of St. Ann Catholic Church and School. Our farm currently includes our grow beds, orchard, chicken compost yard and honey bees. We educate our students on sustainability and grow healthy food to sell to our neighbors. We believe in local, sustainable food as the answer for the economic and environmental injustices in our world.
